ShapeString always uses the first typeface in the font file. Assuming the font license allows it, you can create separate files for each typeface using the "Generate Font" command in FontForge.

As for fixing the geometry of individual glyphs, FontForge is your friend here (as @chrisb said). You could edit the wires in FreeCAD, but it is tedious and would have to be repeated for each occurrence of the troublesome glyph.
It is good to see you posting. Does techdraw include fonts? It would be nice, I think, if FreeCAD bundled some open source fonts for use with shapestrings. That way, when a user shares a file, all the other users will have access to the same font.
