You are right. Opening the files with a text editor I see the best versions were saved with 3 decimal places and the blocky ones were saved with 1 decimal point. I thought I had saved them all with 3 decimal places. Thanks for pointing this out. ... View more

Thanks, but no I am not creating a menu and the format given to clients must be SVG. It should not be easy to edit, hence the outlining.

OK, thanks. Seems odd that no vector graphics software can save fonts correctly. It would be less problematic if the display was refreshed after saving so that Illustrator displayed the fonts as they will actually appear.

Fortunately the font I am using has a light version so I have managed to get a very similar appearance by using that, then adding a 0.1px stroke. ... View more
