2amrose Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 After multiple attempts and different fonts, I am observing that after expanding a stroke it is removing the inner section of the text (varies from words and font types). I am having to use the previous version to add strokes to fonts for my drop shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2amrose Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 Hi Komatos, I did try that and it is still performing the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMiLi Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I'm having the same issue here...and it seems to be hit or miss as far as what fonts that it affects. The font used to create the curves in my screenshot is Adobe Caslon Pro 180pt with a 2pt stroke aligned to the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted December 9, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi @2amrose, Thanks for your report and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here. Can you please confirm for me, which fonts are you finding are affected by this issue?

I've been able to replicate this issue with the stroke set to either Inside or Outside (though centre worked correctly) so I'll be getting this logged with our developers now MiMiLi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2amrose Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi Dan, Here are a couple that I recall (Montana, Marion) and some other random ones today. All were tested at 180pt with a 2pt stroke aligned to the outside. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted December 9, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2022 Many thanks for that - I'll be sure to update the development log with this now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMiLi Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Well, here we are, more than five months later. The 2.1 update is now out and this problem has still not been addressed. It has become quite aggravating, seeing as the majority of my work requires me to keep V1 installed so that I can expand the stroke correctly (COPY - SWITCH TO V1 - PASTE - EXPAND - COPY - SWITCH TO V2 - PASTE - REPEAT AD NAUSEAM). Having shelled out for the entire suite, I really do want to like this product, but bug fixes seem to be taking a backseat to new features. This is the first bug that I've actually checked in 2.1, so I'm hoping that I won't be equally disappointed when I begin to check the other bugs I have encountered and endured throughout the life of V2.0.

2amrose Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 I agree, this should have been fixed by now! What's aggravating for me, was the time I spent testing multiple fonts to show the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted May 19 Staff Share Posted May 19 I'm certainly sorry to hear this @MiMiLi / @2amrose and I can absolutely understand the frustrations with the additional steps you're taking currently. I have 'bumped' this with our development team to bring it to their attention once again. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMiLi Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Thanks @Dan C. I hope so as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been able to replicate this issue with the stroke set to either Inside or Outside (though centre worked correctly) so I'll be getting this logged with our developers now I also have this issue. Aligning the stroke to center does not help, as mentioned in the post above. Running AD 2.1 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMiLi Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 @Hans Johnson it seems to work differently depending on the particular font that you use. On some fonts, aligning to center fixes the problem, but on others it does not. I do get different results using the same font when I change the stroke alignment, but generally none of them work correctly with the fonts I use most often. You can see on the attached screenshot that both the A and the ampersand have issues after expanding the stroke with center alignment, but only the A has issues when the stroke is aligned either to the inside or the outside. The stroke width also seems to have an impact. Using the same font at the same size, but increasing the stroke width from 2pts to 5pts, the issue disappears on both the A and the ampersand. The ampersand actually begins to appear correctly at a much lower stroke width...I believe it was 2.5pts.🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeekYouNeed Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Any timeline for when this will be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted July 24 Staff Share Posted July 24 Hi @TheGeekYouNeed, Welcome to the Affinity Forums! Unfortunately our development team don't tend to provide specific ETA's for issues until they have been resolved in our internal/external beta versions - my apologies. I will be sure to 'bump' this issue with our team to bring it to their attention once again and we hope to have this resolved in a future update. I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMiLi Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 For all who are following this topic, the 2.2 version seems to have fixed the issue. I haven't tried all of the fonts that I have had issues with, but keeping my fingers crossed. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
