Here, I'll explain how to create outlines for text and paths.

Literal

Here [at-では], characters [and-や] paths [genitive-の] outline [genitive-の] creation [about-について] explain.

Software-manual register. ここでは ('here [as topic]') frames the current section of a document or manual. ~や is the non-exhaustive listing particle, listing 文字 and パス as examples — 'text, paths, and similar objects.' ~について説明する ('explain about X,' 'explain X') is the standard manual-speak for walking through a topic. The plain-form verb 説明します (polite present, 'will explain') is typical of instructional documentation. 文字 here means 'text/characters' in the design context (as in Adobe Illustrator's 'Create Outlines' feature), not the literal character sense.
