Hello everyone , new to Affinity Designer 2 for iPad.  Currently cannot figure out how to remove base text from another text by "Subtracting" 

I don't want to use a shape..

Or rasterize as it will lose quality..

Here's a video of my issue

 

 

Iam aware of converting to curves , so I'm converting both my text to curves , then select , subtract but does not work

1st text : MORRO no effects 

2nd text: MORRO , With Outline effect and that's what I'm trying to cut into , but when I do , either it dissappears or its not cutting right , I've posted pictures to show what i mean. 

 Pretty much I'm trying to achieve a white background and text cut out on that.

You can set the blend mode of the „smaller“ text to erase, and then child-next it to the other text.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

Won't that cause rasterization, though, when exporting to any vector format?

As the OP uses outline FX, rasterization is already unavoidable.

When the OP is ready to recognize rasterization causes like layer FX, we can then start explaining better approaches like expand stroke, contour tool, compound shapes etc. to fully avoid rasterization.

Use an outside-aligned stroke instead of FX Outline to avoid rasterisation: morro.afdesign

The stroke of one character is not to be visible inside another unfilled character, so the text is enclosed in a Compound and the stroke is given to the Compound.
