ShapeString - ornamental font - erroneous fill-in between letters

[noahk]

I'm using FreeCAD 0.20 24701 compiled with HomeBrew from HEAD.

I am trying to create some nameplates. I find a weird bug with a font that I've chosen. This is the font:

This is in FreeCAD (note how some letters are filled in when they shouldn't be):

This is what the font is supposed to generate:

If you turn off the fill property it looks like:

The font shape has been designed with closed over lapping profiles.

So, probably gonna need work to get it solid. It will extrude like this though:

Ah, but I need the fill property. I need to print out nameplates.

Well, a closed shape inside another closed shape gets filled twice...

Not sure how the small a in your screenshot would fare being what looks like a single line.

How did you turn off the fill property on the ShapeString?

I don't see that option. I'm using 0.20. I see this:

Is your version recent enough ?
It was added 1 week ago.
