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.
