When I create a mask in text layer from "Create", "Create masks from Text", it create an extra mask with extra vertex with no sense, different from the others shapes, I don't know why.
Please, can you filter useless mask created with only one or two extra vertices, thank you.
In the image you can see three mask path created from text layer with "s" character, the mask in red color is the problem, it only has one vertex (or maybe two), it is shown as one red dot in the screen (marked with the blue arrow), the green and yellow has the shape that I need, the font is Astallya Script and AE versión is 25.0.1

It is most likely your font. I searched for Astallya Script and found a half dozen different sources and some slightly different-looking fonts with the same name. 

 

I don't see any problems with the half-dozen fonts I chose from my library. Deleting the mask or shape layer path is easy enough, but I don't think it is a bug. I think it's a problem with the copy of the font you are using.

So, you said that the font that I have has the mistake by itself, what about other fonts that has the same mistake?

AE create extra mask with only one or two vertex, is not a bug, it just need to filter masks with 1 or 2 vertex only, to avoid creating extra masks. Im making an script, so I noticed this, I can solve only for me, not for everybody.

 

You can ignore this if you think it's a waste of time, thanks.

I agree with what Rick said. Are you able to replicate this with a system font?

Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.


Thanks,
