Cunningham Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hello all Looking for some help with adjusting the background text box so that it extends past the last letter (Fully covers the text) When text is standard its not a problem but as soon as Text is slanted or Shear is increased the background colour annoying just cuts off and it looks wrong. Any suggestions? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted July 19, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 19, 2017 Rather than applying a shear to the text if you apply this to the background the text will stay within the background. as shown in the attached screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hmm. The OP didn't specifically require a rectangular background but, if Cunningham does need one, this solution still requires an additional bkgd shape of the same color placed behind this text/bkgd to "square" it off, right? Just extra steps and possible to do, unless the bkgd is gradient, then matching it for seamless appearance becomes a potential problem. Or is it easier than that?

carl123 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If you want italic text and want to keep the background a "square" shape, just add an extra "space" character to the end of your text In my attached example I have added an extra "space" character to the beginning and end of the text. jer 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
