Beyond the Basics Problems with outset lines

    What could be causing this issue?

    I type my text go to path, object to path, ungroup, path, union then outset 

    and my pixels are set to .5  I have used this feature many of times before

    and have never had issue until now.

    In newer Inkscape versions you can go from text to path>union without the other steps.

    It's sensitive to the size, a quick fix would be to just pull scale the object to a large size, do the outset, then pull scale back again.

    I will also suggest using the screen or video templates that have units of px and scale=1. Those templates can have the units changed to mm or in, etc. (but let the scale update itself).

    Chime back and let us know how it goes.

    I apologize I didn't see your post but thank you so much I somehow had the px set to in and for some reason the scale was way up there

    I corrected this and it seemed to have fixed the problem.
