Designer / Publisher - Expand Stroke on Text Fails for "A" when placed on path


Recommended Posts

Hello,
this evening i have been working on a logo and for some reason expanding stroke on the "asap condensed" font placed on a circular path fails to correctly expand the stroke on the letter A. Affinity will only do some truncated bits in the A hole (hahaha) but not the full stroke. 

All A's in the text fail, all other letters work. Creating a new simple text A in the same font and doing the stroke expand works. Just this particular text doesnt work - it also doesnt work when you convert text to path manually. 

Printing and exporting the PDF also shows the same issue.

Heres a screenshot:

And heres the publisher file:

It would be useful if you could also attach the document where it is at the point immediately prior to the problem occurring.

That way other people can test whether the problem occurs for them too, rather than just seeing the result which is of less diagnostic use than being able to see both ‘before’ and ‘after’.

I re-added the stroke to the As, ungrouped, scaled everything to 400 % and then expanded the stroke. Don't ask me why this works. 🤦‍♂️
