Need a hand: closing a gap for use in 3D printing

Hi reddit,

I'm 3D printing some Scrabble tiles, and need to modify this letter E from the Cartoon Blocks font (https://www.dafont.com/cartoon-blocks.font) so that the lines at the top-right corner meet (otherwise I can't paint the tiles properly in the slicer). I've tried just moving some markers so the lines overlap, but then I get errors when saving in FontForge and when rendering in OpenSCAD. Does anyone know how to close this gap without generating any errors?

Hi Reddit,

I'm here to ask a favour. I'm 3D printing a set of Scrabble tiles for a friend, and the font she's chosen is the OpenType Russo Sans: https://www.1001fonts.com/search.html?search=russo+sans. But she doesn't like the slanted lines at the bottom of the C, G and S glyphs (see pic).

Normally I'm the kind of person who would just learn FontForge and fix it myself, but I currently have serious long COVID and just don't have the concentration or energy to spend on it right now. Is there a kind soul who could help, and modify those three letters so that the bottoms are straight instead of slanted? I'd be ever so grateful!

This print failed last time around this point due to lack of supports. I configured some manual tree supports for the second attempt, which are due to touch the outer wall in 6 layers' time. I just need the outer wall to hold for 6 more layers!!
