Handwriter.ttf – Handwriting Synthesis with Harfbuzz WASM

The handwriter.ttf project is a handwriting synthesizer created by abusing the Harfbuzz WASM Shaper, with a unique approach of generating and rasterizing a handwriting-style font using a super-lightweight RNN model. The project requires libharfbuzz with the experimental WASM shaper enabled to run, and comes with a prebuilt Docker image for convenience. Users can try out the project by following specific steps on a Linux system and typing in the gedit window with certain prefixes. The technical details include algorithm specifics and performance optimization tips, with the final TTF file showcasing impressive speed on Intel Ultra 125H. This intriguing project is under an Apache 2.0 license.
