    Hi all, just a quick one, can anyone shed any light on this.

    We use corel draw 11 on PC.
    sometimes when i type some text then put an outline around it, it seems to miss some letters, as in attached file.

    Can anyone tell me why and how to overcome or fix it please??

    cheers

    Dont know if this helps but convert the text to curves or weld before adding the outline I have come across this once or twice in signlab, perhaps it specific to certain tt fonts?

    Hi peter, mite have sussed it:

    converted it to curves, broke it apart, selected the letters individually and then outlined them………sorted.

    What a pain in the arse! Corel 9 used to do that. What you should do is win a copy of X3 in a competition (like me 😉 ). It only took them 13 versions to get the outlining to work proper.
