Missing cut lines from a imported DXF file

I imported a picture from the internet into Inkscape to use for practice.  After downloading it into Inkscape I traced the bitmap and saved it as a DXF file.  I then imported it into Fusion 360 for personal use as a DXF file.  After finishing the setup and cut requirements I ran the simulation.  Only a few of the cut lines were picked up.  I have imported other DXF files and have the same issue.  I am very new to Fusion 360 so any advice would help.  I attached my file for review.  Also this is only for my practice.  I do not plan to cut it.  So hopefully I am not breaking any copyright laws.

If you mouse over the error it tells you what's wrong.

You have quite a large lead in distance, try reducing it. You might even need to turn leads off to cut the letters.

Looking closer, you are going to need a lot smaller nozzle than the tool you've selected. If I edit the tool so the nozzle and Kerf width are 0.04" and turn off lead I can get it to cut most of the profiles profiles but could do with even smaller. Do you know your nozzle and kerf sizes?
