Question

Automate adjusting Outlined Text

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how this step in my process could be automated.  Occasionally serifs are too close together on a single letter that each letter has to be individually edited.

Typical letters are h,n,m,k 

Occasional letters are y,x,s,a

 

I'm checking those serifs that may be too close for my CNC machine. 

If they are too close, I set my eraser tool to 1.7 pt and swipe down to ensure the spacing meets my requirements.

 

Thank you in advance for any ideas you may have on this!

I didn't suggest this, I'm just relaying something I overheard, but you could edit the font and create a new one to your specs...

@Met1 Well the good news is we are on the same page.  I've done that with Times New Roman but more often the art I receive from people is random outlined fonts.

I imagine this could be scripted but I wouldn't know how, hopefully someone does...
