Extruded text is not manifold #84

Hello!

Disclaimer: I have the intuition that this has already been discussed, but I can't find the source, so feel free to close this issue and link to another if that is the case.

What went wrong?

When trying to produce a simple text, extrude it and process it in a 3D printing software, it produces non-manifold solids, leading to a mesh that cannot be sliced:

Code to reproduce:

let text = CSG::<()>::text(&self.text, FONT, 0.028, None);
let text_3d = text.extrude(0.001);
let out = text_3d
    .tessellate()
    .to_trimesh()
    .context("Could not generate text mesh data!")?;

Then, the indices and the vertices are plucked into a simple .obj file.

Note: I'm not taking into account normals, if that matters.
