How do those machines at Disneyland that write your name on the mouse-ear hats work?

Normally I’d assume that the machine just knows how to make cursive letters and connects them one-by-one. But I’m perplexed by a detail with my name. My name is Ingrid, and on my hat, the tail of the d loops back up around and dots the lowercase i. How does it sense the letter i, which somehow changes the behavior of the letter d, and gets it to loop back around the exact distance to dot the i? Also I don’t believe my sisters hat has this effect and her name is Erica.

The machine itself can just follow pretty much any pattern, and it’s all in the computer unit driving it.
