hello @jansindl3r, you can use the contours of the letters as a clipping mask, so the outside half of the stroke is not visible: size(2000, 1000) stroke(1, 0, 0) strokeWidth(30) B = BezierPath() B.text('a', (110, 130), fontSize=1400) # clip external stroke with savedState(): clipPath(B) drawPath(B) # normal stroke translate(1000, 0) drawPath(B) cheers!

@frederik Stupid beginner question: where would I find the existing code on my machine that you've fixed here? I want to manually edit the file to take advantage of your improvement until you push the next version of DB …

The last thing will be to provide for the case where the points are in a continuous chain, like the <o>. I'm pretty sure I know what to do, and it shouldn't be that hard, but I have some other problems with the Crouwel code to fix first (all to do with graphing and finding valid paths—this whole project is forcing me to teach myself the basics of computer science as I go). I'll post the revised and extended code here when it's done.
