Increasing thickness in Flexi Pro

[mollygrubber]

Not sure how to ask but i'll give it a shot.

I want to take a True Type font and thicken it as if to make it bolder. I am cutting the letters and need them bolder. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Observe your kerning when you do this.

Yep, did notice some letters wanted to run into each other. This just gave me new ideas for welding to get different looks.

Thanks

For those with older versions of Flexi (I use 7.5) you can go to "separate effect" and pull the original text from the outline. I use this and am able to keep the text editable if I need it later or need to know the name of the font I used.
