Beginners' Questions Trace bitmap giving double lines, possible solutions?

    If you use trace bitmap does it usually give two lines for the outline of the character being traced using brightness cutoff? When I try centerline tracing it gives one line but the tracing isn't very accurate even at error threshold at 1. I've seen another post of similar topic but I want to know is there any other way other than centerline tracing and how do you optimize tracing of a single line of the stroke of a character. 

    What I mean by two lines is a fill with a stroke on either side of the fill. See attachment for example.

    If you want a dynamically stroke maintained an outline trace (like fonts are outlined shapes for instance) is recommended - Centerline tracing works maybe best on CAD based drawings and are always problematic at cross sections, because Bézier curves don´t know anything about it. In essence it´s not 2 lines it´s a colour filled shape to be precise.

    So I´m not sure I see anything wrong here.
