How to turn outlines into solid shapes

akuarela,

I thought that the other part would be obvious, implied by 3), sorry.

Here is a slightly extended version with a comment in 3) and the addition of 7) - 9) to move to layers:

I believe you may, 4) - 6) applying to the O and similarly for other instances, and 3) + 7) - 9) hopefully taking care of the other part:

1) Outline the font;

2) Object>Path>Offset Path with the desired offset and turn the offset paths pink;

3) Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G to Ungroup, this prepares for the splitting into layers;

4) Switch to the Direct Selection Tool and deselect (click an empty spot), then Alt/OptionClick the inner path of the black O and Ctrl/Cmd+C+F+X, then Alt/Option+ShiftClick the pink filled O, then Ctrl/Cmd+F to get a separate path between the black O and the filled pink O;

5) Object>Path>Offset Path with the same offset as in 2), only negative;

6) With the Selection Tool ShiftClick the filled pink O and the new path from 5), then Pathfinder>Minus front,

7) Select one of the pink paths and Select>Same>Fill Color, then Ctrl/Cmd+G to Group them, then change the colour to white;

8 ) 7) Select one of the black paths and Select>Same>Fill Color, then Ctrl/Cmd+G to Group them;

9) Move the Groups from 7) and 8 ) to the desired Layers.

aktuarela,

As I (mis)understand it, you are using an ailing font, hence the O issue.

I believe you may, for the O and similarly for other is´nstances:

1) Outline the font;

2) Object>Path>Offset Path with the desired offset and turn the offset paths pink;

3) Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G to Ungroup;

4) Switch to the Direct Selection Tool and deselect (click an empty spot), then Alt/OptionClick the inner path of the black O and Ctrl/Cmd+C+F+X, then Alt/Option+ShiftClick the pink filled O, then Ctrl/Cmd+F to get a separate path between the black O and the filled pink O;

5) Object>Path>Offset Path with the same offset as in 2), only negative;

6) With the Selection Tool ShiftClick the filled pink O and the new path from 5), then Pathfinder>Minus front.

That ought to rid you of the inner part of the pink O.

Admittedly, I'd rather agree with Monika. Your request is a bit hard to understand although you are trying to explain it pretty clear. But - frankly - I don't get it.

At least - to me - it is a bit hard to unravel what problems you are facing when doing what you want to do.

Can you perhaps provide a sample .ai file with some more instructions?

Sounds complicated. Can you show a picture of what this is supposed to look like?
