dhyatt52 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) BUG REPORT - What happens when I Expand the Stroke. Everything I tried doesn't work on this particular font and rasterizing is not an option for me due to professional publishing needs. The only workaround for me on this one was taking it into another software to make the paths. I wish there was a fix for this in Affinity. This issue really needs to be fixed or at least some way to have a viable workaround. Font is Krupper Additionally, I first noticed the font was breaking from Publisher when exporting to PDF. So I tried to convert to curves in Desginer which causes the font to break. Running MacOS 10.15.5 & Affinity 1.8.4 Steps to repeat this: Download Krupper Font Add Stroke set to 3.5 Convert to Curves Expand Stroke New Document file attached as well as a photo.

Both my Macbook Pro and My Microsoft Surface Pro both have the problem. I tested it also on my Windows Server that has 2 Nvidia GTX video cards running which performed almost perfectly with a few minor corner issues. Server test screen attached.

Staff MEB Posted August 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi dhyatt52, This issue is not related with the graphic card. Those errors are coming from the expand (and boolean) operations themselves and vary depending on the object scale/position/transforms. In the screenshot below i have expanded the same text object twice and moved the bottom instance a little before expanding the text. As you can see the result differs between them (I've marked a few in red). The text in your last screenshot is also using regular caps (not small caps as the examples in the first screenshot) which also leads to different results. As said above the dev team is aware of those issues already. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
