Letter overlap modes?

Postby DeadMazzay » Thu Mar 12, 2015 7:18 am

Dear friends!

Recently I came across the following issue. When some parts of letters overlap the intersection becomes transparent. You can see it on attached image between fg, hg and other pairs. The font I used is Pacifico. Is there a setting declaring the way Inkscape displays letter intersections? Or can this be a bug?

Incscape 0.91 on Windows 8.1

By the way everything is ok when using the same font in text editors so I believe this is not a font issue.

Hi Janne !
Thank you for your reply.
I've tried these modes but they affect only part of letter pairs, see the difference:

Howdy,
Interesting that on my system all the overlaps have the issue unless the fill is solid, when fill is set to solid the issue is completely resolved.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Converting the text to path (group of characters) should solve the rendering issue if nothing else works (Ctrl+Shift+C).
Probably the font have the characters drawn with different path directions?
Or only the "g" character is off? The "fhy" could work maybe.
