Well, I actually had the script I just didn't notice it by keep resize. Thank you for sharing that information though.

I actually started using Ofnuts' "in betweener" plug-in for exploding text paths, the results look far more crisp. I think Ofnuts had the forethought when he wrote this script to leave all the newly created paths visible and the two example guide paths are turned off to make merging the visible layers much faster. I'm probably asking for too much when I say I would love to see the first and last paths become one path to remove all the little corners when stroking, but I'll manage.
