filoplume Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Hi, How would I make the Y thicker in H Y L in a textbox? If I increase the stroke, it starts making it blacker and rounder. -fp hyl.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Depends on if you want to keep it's vertical scale or not? - In order to just scale it horizontaly, which would make it thicker increase it's horiz scale %value on the Characters panel, let's say to 150-180% etc. ... ... if you also want to scale it vertically, then also increase the field below the shown one with the red rect on above screengrab. Other than that, you can size it huger/bigger, or apply/make that Y character as BOLD font etc. Or duplicate the Y and move the selected duplicate slightly to the right with the cursor keys, which will make it thicker. Afterwards group both Y's together! ... hyl-curves-grouped.afdesign Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filoplume Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Sorry, I spelled Designer wrong. And I may have used a font that no one else has! -fp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a difficult task, as far as you don't make your own font! - Since you can identify and get nearly every font on the net.

Hi, This is what happens when I increase the stroke width. Even if I specify no stroke it adds one any way. And if I make the stroke color the same color, it still does this to the letter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will most likely need to increase the Mitre amount too.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
