Letters "filling in" when adding as curves

[brittany13]

Hello everyone!

I am a beginner still learning the ropes of affinity designer and I have a question about some of my letters "filling in" when I try to add them together. I am converting them to curves first and then use the "add" tool in order to make into a cut file for a silhouette or cricut machine. Most of the time it works, but some fonts and letters will fill in the inside of an O, E, or G for example. I have attached screen shots of what I am talking about. Please let me know if there is another way I should be doing this or a way to fix the letters!! Thank you so much!

To fix this, select the "(Curves)" object (not its parent group), open the Layer menu & change the File Mode to "Alternate (Even-Odd)."

Oh that's exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
