And fail. The chuck was not tight enough. Making rubber feet now.

Actually I've been working on this all night. Multiple letters are off. I found about 4 different fonts that match, so I'm mixing and matching, and in some cases manipulating individual letters. Wish I knew the exact font they used.
 
Can't help with the font but, if you convert the text to paths (well thats what its called in inkscape), you can tweek the letters before generating the gcode
 
I don't have any HD screencaps handy, but if you are willing to show us the balls in the film, I'll look at it.
 
Some screencaps I found online:

I have one of Gordon Gekko's precog ball replica's, but indeed, the font is a bit off in these:

The last one looks great. The other ones seem to have inconsistency in the thickness of the letters?
 
There are small differences in letter thickness, the curvature of the ball exaggerates it though
 
I've already fixed the space between Sarah and Donalds name. I think the R's and A's could use some slimming down as well
