OK whats the deal with this file looking this way

The designer is telling me this is a font. I have seen where a conversion breaks a font into pieces but not like this!! When I print the "P" that little overlap causes the background colour to show through. Now normally I would do a quick weld and get on with it, but this graphic won't work. Ugggg

i've had CDR files saved as ai/eps files do that on occasion. offset path slightly and weld/merge (then contour back inside if needs to be exact) to remove the island connectors.

looks like Crillee to me

Yeah, back in the day when I was using Inspire Sign software and someone using Corel
exported a vector file as a EPS or AI it would do that. If I remember correctly PDF would work fine.

This is what I call a cheap font!! I asked the designer to look at it as a font in wire frame and he tells me it actually looks that way...who designs a font like that? In fact the "T" is smaller than the rest of the copy....Must be done offshore and cheap... I spend 30 minutes fixing all the multiple logos I had ready for print and nested and toss out the first print after seeing what it did.....arrrgggggg typical Monday!!!

when you click on each letter, can you delete and there is another copy under it? it may be why you can do a weld

OK look at the "T" this is not a well designed font and the other pic shows the overlap causing the problem.

I downloaded the Crilee font from dafont.com. Looks exactly like that. I actually liked the open areas in the p and r when I used it and even made gap a little bigger with a razor knife (this was in vinyl). I converted everything to curves and sliced the line in the "O" to clean it up, took about a minute.

That's Letraset's Crilee font that's about $45 to buy. There shouldn't be any issues with that font at all. My guess would be the designer used a free version of that font that wasn't re-created very well and now you're stuck with a massive headache.

Can't understand how welding isn't working out for you, so I'd tell them to supply proper artwork, or buy crilee and re-type the text out. that sucks.

if you got it off dafont, it's a pirated version of crillee hense the issues. good fonts aren't free.

The segmented vectors have been a problem for years. It happens when a compounded shape is exported out of CorelDraw as an AI or EPS file. The best workaround I've ever found was to release the compound in Corel before export and then compound again within the application you import it into.
