Weird Text Issues In After Effects - Size and Width Issues

Looked all over for a fix but cant find one. As you can see in the screenshot the text is all selected and I edited the size of the entire string but certain characters are different sizes??? The font is the same, the size is the same but there are these weird issues with all the fonts.

The text is snapped to points for motion tracking if that matters at all. Im making a intro for a montage. Ive done this before with no issues. If you need any more info I will get it to you as I really want to fix this. I attached the file to the project aswell.

Thanks

Correct answer Mylenium

You have enabled the C4D renderer and likely applied a botched extrusion. Either switch to the Standard 3D renderer or fix the text properties. And if you really want to extrude the text, then it may simply require to be cleaned up by converting it to shape laywer paths/ masks. Simply happens a lot as sometimes fonts are too complex or poorly designed to produce clean extrusions and bevels. the old bane of any 3D artist. *lol*

Thanks for the help! I will look into shape layer paths/ masks!
