CS5.
Trying to cut out text from a shape behind it. I select the text, then Object > Expand..., then select it along with the rectangle shape behind it and do Pathfinder > Minus front. The cut-out shape comes looking wrong.
In Pathfinder Options, I have the precision set to 0.001 pt (although it doesn't seem to change anything), the other options don't make a difference either. I've only had this problem with this particular rounded typeface. Any ideas how I can get it to cut directly along the outlined path?

The issue was being caused by the rounded corners effect applied to the shape being cut. Moral of the story: rounded corners must be done manually if you don't want to alter the shape of the negative space within the shape as well.
