handrawn, when you convert a Line to a Shape, it comes with baggage.
If it is a thin line, you effectively double the number of nodes and may not notice as they are paired very close together. Delete one and suddenly an area appears.
For a thicker Line the nodes of a near complete convex object are more separated, almost inner and outer. You still cannot fill in the middle even if you add a piece and Add Shapes.
You have a doughnut arrangement with a shape with no Line width so things do get very messy.
If another looks at an outlined shape, they will expect to be able to easily fill it in and add a node or bend an edge. Your approach scuppers all these.

thats as may be, but my method does rather assume you know what you are doing, as indeed does yours
my method joins the two shapes - your's does not, it converts an open line into a closed shape; this will work fine in this instance [provided you remove the leftover shape] bur may not in other situations, without more work
granted your way may be a better default approach, but shortcuts can be useful if they do the job...

I want to thank everyone for your help and suggestions. I really like your rendition Acorn, but I'm not sure if I want that much detail. Really does stand out though. I went on a font finder sight, and there are fonts that are very close to the original-what I've looked at so far have to be paid for. As you say then Marco's Idea would be good for the J, but the F I think needs a little more character. I did use Handrawn's suggestion to get the right side of the J into one shape, just because I understood it better.

I think you did a good job, Nancy.
Just so ya know, the font is Poppl-Pontifex Medium Condensed.
