What did you do?

When trying to create a piece of text with a stroke fill the tittles on i and j do not look correct.

What did you expect to happen?

I would expect that the stroke would fill all the way to the edge of the inner fill for the tittles.

What actually happened?

The tittles on the i and j look like they have a thin outline around them rather than filling to the tittle.

Taking a look, the gap between the regular text and the stroked text is generated by FreeType. It's not unique to our default font - the same issue occurs with Times New Roman.ttf on my macOS machine.

I've contacted FreeType support to see if this is considered a bug.

We've received a response about how FreeType handles this - #8701 (comment)

The algorithms are rather complicated. I suspect the problem with the inside border arises when the stroker radius exceeds the stem width or the dot radius. The inside border is ill-defined in this case. I doubt this can be fixed. This could happen to the outside border too but much less frequently.

I've created #8701 to adjust Pillow to fix the result.
