Having trouble embossing text

In this document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7d56489440e818e2151cff6b/w/f6d15c91dedc536a400745fe/e/634b8976ea2ed00957004a8d I'm trying to emboss text into the design. I'm getting the error "Boolean operation failed to return a valid part."
I've done this successfully in this nearly-identical document:. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/235c7bd416a26b6523d81221/w/327c39f03cfe9e6e85b0e6d7/e/6da6c986213e2d482ec6dc79?renderMode=0&uiState=69e6d2ba307af23352c3bfda).
Here are the things I've confirmed between the two documents:
• Both "Template" sketches are on the Front plane.
• Both "Extrude Template" extrusions extrude "Faces of Template" back from the Front plane.
• Both "Text" sketches are on the Front plane.
• Both "Extrude Text" extrusions extrude "Faces of Text", are set to Solid/Remove, and extend in the same direction as the "Extrude Template" extrusions.
I can't figure out what the difference is that makes one work and the other not work.

This was tough to figure out. It's the number "2". If you replace it with another number it works fine, or if you change the font it works fine. If you add back the number 2 it fails. I believe this is a bug with the font and the number 2. @NeilCooke would you pleease look at this and see if its a bug? The font is Didact Gothic.

Thanks! I never would have figured that out.
