My friend and I also use Create outline to expand the text, but them look different

[Serendipitous_teacher0D4D]

this is mine one looks like, all the strokes combine together

this is my friend's one, all the strokes they're separated into individual, and move separately, how come?

Is it a Variable font? Do you both use the same version?

[Serendipitous_teacher0D4D]

we use the same font, and same version 2023

[Serendipitous_teacher0D4D]

and press the same button, the out come just different, and I am wondering is there anything related to the preferences setting 

[Ton Frederiks]

I mean the same font version. What font do you use and is it an Adobe font?

[Serendipitous_teacher0D4D]

we both activated the font from Adobe Font, at the same day, wouldn't have the issue of different version

[Ton Frederiks]

This has happened with variable fonts. Is this a variable font?

Are you both in the same version of software, operating system? How do you have the type selected. It could be a difference between selecting with Text tool or Selection tool before Creating Outlines. Are both using Create Outlines or is one of the examples using expand appearance?

[Serendipitous_teacher0D4D]

same version of AI -- 2023

It could be a difference between selecting with Text tool or Selection tool before:

we both use selection tool and select the text

Are both using Create Outlines or is one of the examples using expand appearance?

No, create outline definitely, we tried to do everything in the same way, including using short key to create outline, from the menu button, but the outcome are the same, her stroke are all separate, mine is combine together.

[Lukas Engqvist]

Are you both on Mac or both on PC? Are you running same operating system? Is it the same version of tge font? (Is it one of the Adobe Fonts or one installed seperately?) 

[Serendipitous_teacher0D4D]

Both Mac, the same operating system, the font we just activated from Adobe Font, 

But we tried several times before with different fonts, and it's the same result, so I would tend to think it's a setting issue,

or maybe twist the question a bit: how to create outline with separate individual strokes, cause I saw some other people online can do the same, with every stroke separate 

[Monika Gause]

Precisely which font is it?
