Wolfgang,As usual, you spotted the problem. For my part, I tried to see if there was a real difference between processing with ‘legacy_outline’ and ‘lmtx_outline’ using the Noto Serif KR and Noto Sans KR fonts; in the display provided by Daleyoung, there is clearly a problem with overlapping characters, but I don't see it in the MWE (see attached PDF).

Yesterday I got the strange output of it which was good at 2024.12.Here are two figures, first one is the output of 2024 and the second one is the output of yesterday.Is there any changes of method of drawing outline fonts? I attach a sample file and two figures.Do you use the same font in both documents?I notice the output is different between an older and newer version of Noto Sans KR.\startMPpage[offset=1ts] draw lmt_outline [ kind = "both", text = "\definedfont[file:notosanskrregular]알", fillcolor = "gray", ] scaled 10 ; draw lmt_outline [ kind = "both", text = "\definedfont[file:notosanscjkkrregular]알", fillcolor = "gray", ] scaled 10 shifted (10*BodyFontSize,0); \stopMPpageI looked at both font files with fontforge and this seems to be a font problem.
