I have noticed that the polygon geometry of some fonts can occasionally cause little hiccups in how they render, like filling the hole of an &#8220;e&#8221; for example. So if you get a glitchy letter, try adjusting the font size or jump to another font. Overall, the larger the font size the less likely these glitches are. So I recommend using this style for map titles or relatively sparse large-feature labels.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you are feeling ambitious, you can always crack open the symbols in a style (catalog &gt; styles &gt; choose a style &gt; choose a symbol &gt; properties) and make whatever changes you want.
