Rendered text doesn't match its edges or its true state visible in Outline mode
Text content differs from edges and "path preview" (Cmd Y) to print preview (or GPU).
In my example, the word "Optipro" appears at the GPU Preview and disappears when I use the Cmd Y preview.
I could not understand much looking at the screenshots.

@mnorriswd, do you still have this problem today?
How large is the text? Are you aware of hinting?
Can you share a test file for the team to review it? -
Stephanie, does this still happen for new on new releases?
If yes — can you share a packaged file that have issues like this? -

See the screenshot. I converted this type to outlines, then Expanded Appearance, then Expanded stroke and fill. Results are superimposed over the original red/orange type. You can that the converted outline does not match the type; in general the top is pushed rightward and the bottom leftward. I tried skewing the outline to correct it but while that may nudge some curves and vertices back to where they belong, it pushes others out. The only solution I know is to tweak and/or redraw the path, which is an extremely time-consuming task. It appears that this problem arises with some but not all fonts.

When outlining text in artwork to send to the printer, the text moves from its original position by a fraction.
This is catastrophic for finished art purposes.
