Zero clue whatsoever :)

Don't know what a single tiny miniscule portion of this means whatsoever.

Hey @twenty41 , looks to me that the boxes weren't detected correctly. Maybe improve the image quality or share here if you can and I'll take a look.

[twenty41]

Not sure, this is at the same res as the original sample. The original scan was much higher res. Could it be the slight problem at the bottom? I'll get a better sample tomorrow

[twenty41]

Got a better scan with no cut-off and no fixing needed. Still getting this

Hey, so the previous issue was because of the boxes only. This is one is because you don't have fontforge installed. Refer: https://www.builtree.org/handwrite/installation/ (I tried it on my system and it works)

[twenty41]

I have it! Unless I'm supposed to install it some other way. It just says install. Does it need to be on my C drive?

[yashlamba]

fontforge cli should be accessible. I'vent worked on this project actively recently so I don't remember if there's anything special we need to do for that. (I think you just need to add the /bin to path)

https://fontforge.org/docs/techref/cliargs.html

[twenty41]

Added Fontforge bin to path and it worked. Thanks for your willingness to answer and walk me through it
