Why when I knock-out text using Times New Roman does it not knock-out clean?
I am trying to knock out the letters PDC in Times New Roman and it rounds certain areas of the outline out when I knock it out. Is there a setting I need to change?
See in image that the "PDC" that is selected it doesn't cut out clean. When I outline the text it's clean but as soon as select "minus front" in pathfinder it rounds out that area in the letter "D"(upper left inside corner of D) and a area in the letter "P"
My steps for knocking out:
- Outline the letters I want to knock out "PDC"
- Select both the outline letters and the color shape behind
- Go to Pathfinder
- Select Minus Front

You rounded the rectangle with the round corner effect? Use the round corner widget instead.
The effect gets applied to the letters when you use pathfinder. Alternative: first Object > Expand appearance for the rectangle, then use the pathfinder.
