Hi There,

I’m working with a font that has hollow sections that I’d like to fill with a solid white. More specifically, say I had an "O". It’s in outline so there is the outer black circle and the inner black circle. I’d like to fill the empty letter space with white, while leaving the center of the "o" transparent. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks,
Gabe

Well, you could paint bucket each part that you want, but I assume you are wanting to avoid all those steps. I don’t know if there is a way to automatically select just the inner parts of the characters.

(Selecting a non-hollow font is the option I would take.)

You could use a normal font, color it white, and then give it a black stroke to get the effect.
