Description
WriteMyFont turns your handwriting into a real, editable TTF font. Start with a free A4 or US Letter template, write one character per box, then upload a photo, scan, or completed PDF. Review missing or unclear glyphs, redraw or replace individual letters, adjust size and position, preview real text, and export the finished font. No account is required to begin, and saving a project is optional.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic UI for uploading images is trivial, but extracting individual glyph contours accurately, vectorizing raster handwriting (potrace), and compiling valid TrueType (TTF) font tables requires specialized font-engineering knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack requires image preprocessing (OpenCV/Canvas), optical glyph segmentation via grid alignment, polygon vectorization (Potrace/AutoTrace), and font compilation using libraries like opentype.js or FontForge. The difficult piece is managing glyph metrics, baseline alignment, kerning pairs, and generating valid OpenType/TrueType binary tables in the browser.
