The title font in the crawl isn’t wrong, it’s just not the font used in RotJ and the Prequels.
(I’m limiting myself to one critique, and not going to point out how impossible character replacement is.)
(oops)
Well I ended up learning something in this thread. I didn’t know those fonts differed. Are they close-but-imperfect matches? Do Jedi and the PT match one another? And they switched back to a more accurate typeface for TFA?

As you can see, TFA uses the same title font as A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi used a different font that they used throughout the prequels. The R’s are the biggest clues.

it was the wrong font
It actually isn’t. The Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope use one set of fonts, Return of the Jedi and the prequels use another. The Force Awakens uses the fonts from ESB and ANH, likely to distance itself from the worse films and to make itself closer to the better films.
Nevermind this has been said.
Reading R + L ≠ J theories
and to make itself closer to the better films.
So close that it steals the entire plot of the “better” films :’)
Oh good you’re back.
