Hi,

I've been having this issue in Pixelmator Pro 3.3.2 Mosaic (and prior versions) when where I convert text to shapes, some letters (in this instance the e, d and n letters) lose some parts of themselves when converted to shapes... very annoying. Anyone know what is causing this; how to fix it? Is it a bug?

May I ask what font/style is "escodon" ( me thinks a font problem.)

It’s a font off of Google fonts, can’t remember the exact name. However this same issue has occurred on other fonts

Unfortunately, Pixelmator Pro cannot handle this type of fonts for conversion into shape. Some variable fonts are constructed this way for instance and then need the fill rules: Even-odd and/or non-zero which are not available here.
