mikerob2334 2 Posted October 20, 2009 select outline, de-select "keep original" and play with the thickness setting here's a video of it http://www.screencast.com/t/to9DGGsCp1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dimpledots 0 Posted October 20, 2009 For some reason, the word is still looking like a big blob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikerob2334 2 Posted October 20, 2009 sometimes takes some playing on the curly fonts. what font are you using (curlz mt?), size and word? i'll see what i can do for ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dimpledots 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks! yes, it's Curlz MT. I am trying to make the name Lilly thicker because of the thin letters. I am trying to do a 1.5" name because it is going on a light switch cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikerob2334 2 Posted October 20, 2009 on curlz like that it limits how much outline you can do cause it starts to close up in the swirls. this is about as thick as you can get it without it blending together. wasn't sure on spelling lilly.EPS lily.EPS lilly.EPS lily.EPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
