Is there a font or a way to reduce a font to a single line?

Postby danblast » Thu Nov 20, 2014 10:59 pm

Hi everyone. I'm doing some whiteboard animations but the software I am using takes the handwriting fonts and outlines them then fills them in. It looks crappy. So I'd like to use one of my handwriting fonts and reduce it to a single line verse an outlined shape. This way I could adjust the stroke width and when it animates it will flow like natural writing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
