The Embos & Bevel Effect broken when apply to the Text

GPU rendering vs CPU on screen, does that make a difference?

EDIT: ah, Windows, windows still has no GPU rendering does it, like Mac, my bad.

Well, @handjojot17224968 ,

also export a page to JPEG or PNG to verify if the thin lines are still there.

The result you get when emboss/bevel is set to "chisel hard" is not a bug, but expected behaviour. It is a limitation of the effect, and one that also occurs in Photoshop. The bevel & emboss code is very old, and has never been updated to produce an acceptable quality (when the Chisel effect is used). You could try to soften the result, but it will still look pretty bad and too soft.

Sad, but true. Create a feature request to ask for an improved looking chisel effect.

You may want to switch to other software for an acceptable result until the Adobe developers improve it (I've been waiting for 15 years, so you may have to wait a bit for this to happen - if ever). I never use 2d software anymore for a quality embossing/bevel effect, and rather prefer to do these in a 3d app (Blender).

As for the thin lines: that looks indeed like a bug. It could be a screen rendering issue, though. Did you change the display performance to High Quality? If it persists, export a PDF and check the PDF: is it still there? Or not?

If the PDF looks fine, it might be an issue with the video driver. On my side here I experience no display issues when I apply the dropshadow effect.

Example of Blender text:

If you mean the Text box, press w and it will disappear (press w again and it will return).
