I would like to know how to join the dots for the i and jand !'s in fonts. I have been trying but cant get it in corelx5.
They fall out when there cut of course i just cant figure out move the dot to the i or j so i can weld them together. HELP

1) draw a rectangle bridge
or
2) draw a larger dot
or
3) convert-to-curves then break-apart then move the dot
then
weld (red) object to other (grey) parts
or
4) make letter body negative (a hole) by contouring to the outside (then break-apart then combine)
