I am working on drawing my text and I have run into an issue. I have a long curve and when I combine the lines and rungs it causes the lines to become wavy. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for looking

Jason-

Please share an Inkscape SVG file that has this issue.

I was able to get the E to work but now I am working on the d and I am confused by the bezel lines and the path outline not matching up. I can move the node and make adjustments but the path and black lines are not working the same. 

Paths that have an effect like spiro, may need to be converted to regular paths (Menu: Path>Object to path) before performing path operations (combine/difference/union/etc.).

Thanks Tyler. That did it! Been banging my head against the wall all morning.

Cheers

Jason
