In my previous blog, I explained how I converted my handwritten characters into a TrueType font using Python and FontForge. After generating the font file, I expected the process to be complete.
The script executed successfully, the .ttf file was created, and Windows installed the font without any errors. Everything appeared to be working as expected.
However, when I opened Microsoft Word to test the font, it was nowhere to be found.
This was an unexpected result. Since the font had been generated and installed successfully, I initially assumed the issue was related to Microsoft Word or the Windows font cache. After several attempts, including restarting applications and reinstalling the font, it became clear that the problem originated from the font generation process itself.
