Hi,

I'm trying to clip letters with stroke path and I have made text font letters to path as well. But I'm doing something wrong because I'm getting at least for me a bit bizarre result. Here is the Inkscape .svg file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fklMTJQ-mPzjEWqWFii3lRwdmGOVm7e6/view?usp=sharing

Before clipping:

After clipping:

See what it does by adding a fill to the red path.

Do Path > Stroke to path on the red I - you're trying to clip with an unclosed, unfilled path.
