Thickness and Type of racing > vectorize

OK, so I'll try punching text from an object of single-color to a simple t-shirt design. Basically, the object is a white circle, and the text is CHRIS. The word CHRIS needs to be cut out / transparent so that the t-shirt shows thru. (Red = shirt white circle + red letters, = black shirt white circle + black letters, etc.)

Pretty simple to start. (1) draw the white circle. (2) type of text. (3) adjust the line width of font to text Select PT 5 very thick (4). (5) choose the text command > vectorize.

However, the blue outlines are for the basic text (0 pt) race blue contours do not include the additional line weight (5 pt).

Then... How can I get the blue outline to include additional line weight. (In other words, how can I move the blue outlines features outside?)

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Chris

Thank you very much for the quick responses, everyone.

I finally found a way to do...

(1) draw the white circle. (2) type of text. (3) adjust the line width of font to text Select PT 5 very thick (4). (5) type > vectorize. (6) object > path > Outline Stroke Pathfinder Panel (7) > unit (maintains the outside contour).

Thank you once again.

Kind regards

Chris
