I have text I am trying to align vertically. All the letters do not look lined up. The “E” in “MAE” looks shifted over. I tried "un-grouping " the text but that did not work. See pics attached.
Is there a way to re-position the characters individually? How?
PS: Ignore the “E” below “Mae” as that was operator error!
Thank you
Bill
I don’t believe LightBurn can handle vertically oriented text.
You could work around this in the way I suspect you have by adding a newline after each letter. You would then use “Align X” in the Text toolbar to determine if you want each letter to be left, middle, or right aligned.
I suspect in your “MAE” that you may have a space in front of the ‘E’.
Yes, it does “look” like there is a space in front of the “E” but that is not the case. The steps I took to make the text vertical was to edit the text and press “enter” after each letter. attached are my settings. I tried a “left justify” and that did not fix all the letters.
Can you save the file and upload here? I can’t duplicate your results.
What version of LightBurn and OS are you running?
[EDIT]
Actually, I see that the difference is the Align X. Reinvestigating.
Don’t use the enter button. Click below the letter and get a new cursor. Use the align selected shapes vertically. Treat each letter as it’s own shape.
I think @micrololin’s suggestion is the only practical one here.
I’ve sorted out what’s happening. It’s a combination of the way letters are being middle aligned and how italics are being handled. Looks like the Italics are applied with the base of eath letter unmoved from the non-italic version. This can give the final appearance of letters looking unaligned.
