FAQ

Q1: How do I remove a text outline that has been set?

  • Solution: In the text outline settings, select the "No Line" option to remove the outline effect.

Q2: What is the difference between Text Outline and Character Border?

  • Solution: Text Outline is a stroke effect applied directly to the text itself, following the shape of the characters; Character Border adds a rectangular frame around the outside of the text, with a fixed square shape.

Q3: What should I do if the text becomes illegible after applying an outline?

  • Solution: You can simultaneously set the "Text Fill" to a color that contrasts clearly with the outline, or adjust the outline width so it is not too thick.

Notes

  1. After setting the outline, change the "Text Fill" to white or no fill to create a hollow text effect with only the outline visible.
  2. Text Outline and Text Fill can be used together to create rich text effects
