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.
