I've run into problems before with fonts-at smaller sizes things do go
haywire-its trying to sew too many stitches into one area-around a curve in
the serif, etc.-that give you ulcers. Changing the font as you found helps,
otherwise you have to go in and play with moving stitches, changing auto
density, short stitches, etc. until it works. Okay for large quantity jobs
but when you are only doing 1 or 2 items it's easier to switch fonts and
tell the customer he loves it!

speed was 600......
font density was the default of 4.5..........and I added a bit of column
width (120%)
needles were new 70/10 sharps - (titanium) and I was unable to go more than
one to two letters before all hell broke loose.
Now, I've switched to CooperDak font.....same speed, same density, same
column width, same needles......no problems.
weird.

What you haven't told
us was the density you are using on that font
at .4 high?
and what speed is the machine running.
Nylon is very tight and heats up a needle very quickly
making for hot soft needles that bend and break easier.
Let us know.

scientific testing is now showing the FONT to be part of the problem.
using CooperDak .4" letters sewing out RHS letters........all is well
through 6 sewouts on the nylon.
using Full Block .4" letters sewing out RHS.......the needle just
busted on the H. All 4 needle breaks have been when using Full Block
only.
I'm starting to suspect a problem in density in the lettering of this font.

When we get the 'shredding' we run a fingernail done the needle in
question-and if there is a 'burr' you'll feel your finger tip catch on
it...and that means your needle is hitting on something-either off center
and hitting the needle plate, or your jacket is hanging off the table and
pulled the hoop as the needle went through-and the needle hit the plate. Or
someone repositioned the jacket as it was sewing or (I've done this)
accidentally hit the hoop arm bending over to get something...
doesn't take much at all to make that needle go sidewise, just a hair and
it will hit the plate underneath and cause a 'burr' when the tip bends a
little. That's what catches and unravels the thread but it keeps on
sewing....

I'm getting "partial" shredding breaks......where it appears the inner core
of the thread usually stays intact, but the outer "shell" gets all knotted
up in the needle case area...

Hi there. A couple of things to try...more backing, as nylon is very light,
and sew slow....and depending on the type of thread breaks (clean breaks or
shredding breaks), check needle alignment, and add or subtract MT.
BEST WISHES!
