Why My Handwriting Font Didn't Show Up in Microsoft Word

A custom handwriting font was generated with Python and FontForge and installed on Windows, but it did not appear in Microsoft Word.

The problem was not Word itself; the font build had issues with glyph data and metadata.

The script was improved by tracing images into vector outlines, cleaning glyphs, setting widths, and validating the font before export.

The author says the fixes made the font more compatible and plans to build a Tamil handwriting font next.
