We're making an
important update to how strokes (outlines) behave on curved text
. Until now, applying a stroke visually increased the spacing between characters, which led to several issues:🤕
Current Issues:
- Stroke made curved text look more spaced out than expected.
- Discrepancy between print file and preview due to differences in how stroke was rendered.
- Users often had to apply negative tracking to visually correct the spacing.
🧪
What’s Changing:
- Stroke on curved text will no longer visually increase character spacing.
- Print file and preview will no longer present differences in character spacing.
- No need to use negative tracking as a workaround.
- ⚠️ Important: We’re removing the negative tracking previously used for compensation. This may affect how some texts appear.
