normathenormal Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have been pasting text from Word into an Affinity Publisher document. Generally it's fine, but in some cases, the font (I'm using Times New Roman) is coming out looking thicker, like not quite bold but visibly thicker than other times. If I type into it it's still bold. If I start all over with a new text box and type, then it comes out OK. But that's a lot of work, and most of the time, the paste is fine. I've checked to see if it's a layers issue but can't find any indication that it is (there's also an image layer and the text box is above the image). Is there any fix or explanation for this? Is it a bug? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normathenormal Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Thanks, that was it! I didn't see that thing. I wish it said something like O for outline. Wonder how the outline got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
