Enhance Miter limits on type inner strokes
There are a few mentions of "miter" you might get interested in.
One that I regularly had to deal with was Miter Limit for typefaces (as applied in appearance panel).
Could there be a way to have a miter limit applied only to the outside paths of the letter and not to the counterparts ? (like the holes in e, a, o…)
The second page of this thread shows nice ways to play with that too:

Once upon a time one company in my home city had a logotype with spikes like this, white Arial Black letters with a red offset. It’s been like this for years, ugly and stupid, but one day I had a chance to work with them and was able to persuade them to fix it. They believed the computers are infallible, and 'that’s how it makes it, so it’s the truth’. I made a demo for them, revealing the flaw of the algorithm. Happy end.
Well, the actual problem is garbage, of course, there should be a way to disable those spikes.
But there is a descent workaround I use for decades now — instead of a stroke behind the fill, I use a second fill behind the first one, with an Offset Path effect applied to it. It does NOT produce spikes (and it leaves no holes inside when expanded, which is a nice bonus).
While this one should be fixed, I urge you to do it with an effect instead :)(Edited by admin)
