I had a go to see if I could find a solution quickly and learn something else myself. it probably could have been better hence I did a search for the font as that would probably offer you a better finish and cleaner solution for your client (+ you can add the cost of the font onto his bill ) I opened the image in GIMP and was getting rid of the background (using the magic wand or fuzzy selection tool) and then saved it as a PNG and imported into inkscape and although I got a better image. The bigger letters were not a problem, the smaller ones where there was more blending was an issue.
When you reselect the parts of your original trace you want to turn into new shapes, and run the “Combine” command, Inkscape realises that what you had selected is a single shape, and applies the negative-shape rule again, so your vectors look as they should with holes in places you expect them.I tried to get a better conversion for you, the problem is the colours don't have much contrast so the photo / image uses antialiasing to smooth / guess the pixel colour so it doesn't make it very smooth. The “break apart” command breaks every shape in your graphic into a separate shape, and since they are no longer part of the same shape, Inkscape fills them with the colour of the original shape (in this case black). To make a hole (negative space) in your shape, it makes another shape inside your outer shape, but since it’s part of the same shape, Inkscape knows it’s a hole instead of two different shapes stacked on top of eachother. Why does this happen? Inkscape treats the result of your bitmap trace as one large vector shape. drag a selection box around each piece you want to make a new object out of, and select Path -> Combine (this will have the effect of making your negative shapes back into holes in your object, and creating a new shape from what you have selected.
Choose Path -> “Break apart” (this will turn every part of your graphic into an ungrouped shape, and turn the negative shapes in your objects black, but don’t worry about that just yet…)ģ. If you are just tracing a bitmap to black vector, and you want to separate pieces of the results into different objects, you need to do these things:Ģ.
