I can't reproduce your problem, actually, Bill, sorry! (or should I be sorry?)
Please take a look at the attached. You did have a "node at extreme" problem there in the original Xara file. Instead of the two extremely close nodes being joined by a straight line, the top node has a control handle out to Mars. I corrected it at bottom; just a marquee select with the Editor tool and a click on straight on the Infobar.
I also noted that you are being diligent and methodical in your approach, Bill. I like what I see, and the font is going to be all that much better with your attention to the glyph set you're doing. I can appreciate your small corrections when either the printing of the stamp, or the artist's design fails to hit a symmetric area perfectly.
By the way, you might also want to try *.AI instead of *.EPS. It might overcome some sort of control point limitation neither of us fully understands.

Thanks Gary, and no need to be sorry. It has been a long time since I created a font and I'm using a newer version of FontLab. Wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something in the process.

It's possible, because the control points are so close together at full view, that you didn't inadvertently right-click over a point, did you, Bill?
I learned the hard way that it's a shortcut to delete a control point with no confirm box!
No, you were good all the way with the path creation, except the area I pointed out. Actually, check all your "double-node" connections to make sure they're straight paths before exporting.
I'm jazzed. This is going to be one whoop-butt typeface tg is going to host and parent!

I could have right clicked a node or even tapped the delete key, knowing me anything is possible.
