Design changed after publishing.

Okay, really weird and I thought I was losing it — but I shared in on Pinterest when I first published this design.

The design below was aligned correctly when created and published. At some point, and I don’t know when the alignment went off.

I want to correct these but not until Z gets a look at them to find out why that happened.

That’s odd. Not only is the ‘I’ out of alignment, but it appears to be in a totally different font. I checked it in the design tool, and it’s the correct font name, but it’s in some different serif style font.

That’s because your original font was “blooming elegant sans serif” which was deleted last summer. Zazzle automatically replaced it with another sans serif font so that’s why your alignment/spacing is not off.

I compared the original with the newer, flawed one, and am still miffed as to why the ‘I’ is a serif font and the rest is sans serif.

Thank you!

That’s a huge bummer and it kind of means making stuff like that or even making templates might not be that great of a thing to do. ☹️

If you look closely (or zoom in as I did) the other I’s are serif as well. It was a bad font substitution. I see all the differences now and the new font loses the playfulness of the old one.

Aha! So it’s not a font you’ll never gravitate toward. Neither will I.

Definitely not! 😁

I’ve come across fonts I doubt I’ll ever use because of poor construction or readability issues. I know Zazzle won’t do it, but in addition to “Favorites,” I’d like a list we could add to called “Nope.”
