    It has the  look of a blend mode issue to me.  I believe that OSX handles screen blend modes differently to Windows.  Chris Cox used to tell us that this was a reason why requests to make workpaths more visible appeared to go unheeded.  This was not so much to do with line thickness and colour, but how paths appeared according to the pixels beneath them.  

    Theere's nothing about blend modes on the Mojhave known issues page

    Thanks so much everyone for your responses! I have found a workaround at the moment by using the glyphs menu and substituting an alternate "j", and then the font connects correctly.

    Thanks, I checked "Legacy Composting" but it didn't make a difference.

    It almost look like you converted a text layer to a shape layer and change leters spacing and the path mode of the  "j" and "a" to exclude.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. It is happening to several script fonts. It's like the letters are no longer "welded".
