How’s your experience with Adobe Illustrator’s Retype going? We love how it finds fonts in the Adobe Fonts library, but what about converting outlined text back to editable? That’s where VectorFirstAid’s Unoutline Text feature comes in, it’s been doing this since 2018. As long as the font is installed on your system, VectorFirstAid will find it and convert your outlined text seamlessly. Watch our side-by-side timing video comparing Retype’s font suggestions with VectorFirstAid’s unoutline tool in action! #VectorFirstAid #Retype #AstuteGraphics #IllustratorTips #EditableText #FontConversion #DesignWorkflow
