    Created a font but at some letter the preview stopped working. The export buttons are also greyed out.

    Uncaught (in promise) Error: Unable to find segment #17104 [1134.0749756226644, 626.626581389815] -> [1138.8056996223609, 620.6136535032142] in SweepLine tree.

    The best part of this is the execution. Writing a letter at a time, doesn't really capture my handwriting. In Handwriting, characters shape change relative to their surroundings. However, the tool still made it easy to capture an initial version in one sitting. Kudos.

    It needs samples, I'm not going to get out my wacom to do all that without seeing what the results will look like.

    I really wanted to finish, but couldn't get past e because I'm too ADHD :').

    It could be cool if you can do OCR maybe? My handwriting sucks but I have friends who have good handwriting :D

    Wow.. This is awesome, the UX is very good. Nice!

    My characters are terrible (my own fault) so I likely won't use my font... but I can imagine others finding it useful.

    Loved this. It took me a while to realize it was going to take me a while to input all of them. I thought it would be nice if I could just take a picture of some of my writing, and then use the "adjust" feature on the top right.

      It's a lot doable these days. I saw someone doing exactly that on twitter using opus.
