I'm having trouble working with letter shapes. I'd like to use the "live corners" feature on a letter "R", but I can't seem to convert the letter into a proper shape... What I've got so far is a compound-path but I can't edit the corners live...

Does anyone have any advice?

P.S.: I'm running Adobe Illustrator CC 2018

Your letter has to be converted to outlines.

Select and Right click your text box and hit Convert to outlines
or
Shift+Ctrl/Command+O



You may have to use the Direct Selection Tool (A) Or holding down Ctrl/Command

L: (standard) Selection Tool - R: (highlighted) Direct Selection Tool

If you take the Text and outline it. You can then select the text and hold the "CTRL" button to view the like corners. This should help you to do whatever it is you are looking to do with the text.



When you say it doesn't work tell me how?

I Typed an R
I outlined the text
I held down CTRL
There are live corners
