This change allows suppressing spurious closing lines when drawing text in a single-line font.
In Summary of single-line fonts, imajeenyus writes: "Single-line fonts (also called engraving fonts, technical lettering fonts, pen plotter fonts) are hugely useful when performing machining or drawing operations." Under "Notes/warnings", that page mentions the issue of "closing lines".
True-type fonts are often outline fonts, and some software always adds closing lines, which the page above highlights in red. This proposed change adds a boolean parameter "Closed" to the "text" plugin. It's default is True, maintaining the current behavior. But with a single stroke font like MechSoft from McNeel, you want to turn this off. It saves the extra step of deleting the spurious lines manually.
