Yeah , I will send it in a Private message!


Your type in this file has a stroke at the character level. Remove it and add one at the object level, then drag it below 'Characters'.

I'll go through it on the file as it is now:

1. select your text with one of the selection tools (black or white arrow)

2. open the Appearance panel

3. Double-click on Characters.

4. select the black stroke

5. Click on the trash can to delete it.]

6. Click on Type at the top of the appearance panel.

7. Click on the Add new stroke button.

8. Drag the stroke entry so it sits below Characters.

In the appearance panel, drag the stroke below the Characters item.

Are you sure it's not just invisible, as you have a white fill?


Yes , it has a grey background.
