Increasing Font Weight Designer 2.5

[fastrocket]

Hello,

I'm trying to increase the weight of a font in Designer 2.5, but I keep getting a line around the original font.  I've tried increasing the stroke with the same color.  I've also tried an FX layer with "Outline".  If I print the image there's a light line where the original text was (with the "Outline" example).  With the stroke example, I can see the white outline on screen.

Hello @fastrocket,

I've seen this before. What you can do is to increase the weight of the font with an stroke:

•  
• Make sure in the stroke panel you select 'Align > Align Stroke to Centre'.
• Double the stroke width since part of the stroke is (obviously) within the glyph.
• As an extra you could activate 'Scale with object'.

I hope this helps.
