Script/Cursive Font - some letters will not merge together

Are you having the problem with live text or have you converted it into a series of vector shapes? If you have converted, there is a Path Operations menu that could explain and correct this odd result. I'm happy to explain further if this isn't detailed enough.

What if you try Type > Create Work Path, and use that path as a mask for a Color Fill Layer. Then try various Path Operations, and see if you can find one that won't give the white gaps. Of course, it will no longer be editable type.

When the options are grayed out, it means the type designer did not include them when designing the typeface. What is the name of the typeface and where did you get it?

It would help us if you could post another screenshot with an insertion point in the text and the Character panel showing. Use the Insert image icon (mountain and sun).
