    Default Text with smaller line than 0.25 for repainting by hand?

    (because of my lack in technical phrases in English language, I'm not sure if my title is correct. I'm sorry for that! Not to mention the grammar...)

    Hello,
    I would like to print a poem on a blank page using a vintage font in order to trace (repaint/overwrite) the printed text later by hand with any calligraphic pen.
    After this process, the printed lines shall be completely repaintet, no longer visible and so the page will look like completely written by hand.
    Is it possible to format a text with a really small stroke width, so it is after printing barely visible and can easely be traced and covered with a black artist pen?

    I alredy have tried the following:
    • write the text
    • convert to ediable shape
    • assign a stroke width

    But oviously the result can't have any stroke width smaller than 0.25. And this is thicker than the original stroke width the font alredy has.

    Is there any way to create a kind of template of a text, that is thin enough to be overpainted (overwritten) with a pencil, so the original printed text is not longer visible?
    (I hope I could explain my problem in a understandable way...)

    Thank you for helping me with this!

    Holger
