I want the outline of text with the standard Windows font "Bahnschrift". I tried to convert it with "Path->Object to Path" and then setting fill to X and stroke to black, but looks like the font is constructed with separate polygons for each letter. See this example:
Top is Bahnschrift, and bottom is Arial which works fine.
Is it possible to calculate somehow automatically the outline of the top text, without intersections, and without doing it all manually for all the letters? And including the right outline for letters with holes, like the "e"?
Some letters are even kind of twisted internally, looks pretty bad:
So I guess an algorithm to detect if it is a real hole, or if it is a hole from such twists and to ignore it, could be difficult.
