Create Outlines type glitch?

[beccameek3313]

InDesign CC 17.3 / Mac OS 11.6.8

Before sending file to print I am creating outlines of type (on a curve) and it's not rendering the type as it should. Any ideas why?

This is a bug in InDesign. 

There were a couple of threads discussing this - if you need outlines per your printer's request, there is a preflight setting in Acrobat that will convert to outlines in your PDF without this issue.

Why are you doing this? There should be no reason at all for it.

[SJRiegel]

Some printer services still require it, and some designers don't get to choose who does the printing.

[BobLevine]

Regardless, it's also completely possible that the OP can choose someone else and has no real reason to do it. Unless he/she returns we'll never know.

Hi @beccameek3313 ,

this bug should be fixed with InDesign 2022 version 17.4.

If you still can see the issue scale the oval with the editable text on path to 1000% and then do the outline.

Scale the result back to 10%.
