I could not find a font that I liked so I kind of made my own. However I used so many strokes with my brush that it makes ai very laggy when i try to downsize, move etc. I was just wondering whether there was a way to make it into like a shape. I tried convert to shape but it did not really work. Thank you!

How so? That should have converted all the separate brush strokes to solid objects with less anchors. – Scott Jul 16 '17 at 2:41

I do have them grouped already, that could be what was wrong. I'll try again when they are ungrouped. – DanMcMan Jul 16 '17 at 2:47

Expand as described above, then save the file. Then relaunch Illustrator. – Scott Jul 16 '17 at 3:37
