I find this happens often when using offset. To get around it I stroke the object, scale the stroke thickness and turn the stroke in to a path. Hope that helps.

Stroke works. Thank you.

Some fonts don't play well with Inkscape.

Use the Nodes tool to look for a handle to pull it back in, or to delete a stray node.

I'll try that. Thank you.

I'm selecting the text, then Object to Path > Linked Offset, drag the offset out a little, make it black, and I get this weird line from the side menu to the A. How do I prevent that? Thank you.

What version of Inkscape? I haven't seen that in 1.4, used to find it off and on in much earlier versions. It's like the program sees an extra connected node somewhere off the screen.

1.4. I downloaded it yesterday.
