ThaanaFont turns Dhivehi handwriting into fonts
A beta tool for shaping Dhivehi (Thaana) fonts from handwriting, drawn letters, or an existing font.
- For
- Dhivehi writers, lettering artists, and type designers
- Worth noticing
- The site says handwriting photos stay in-browser; only letter shapes go to its server for font generation.
Field notes
Users can start by adjusting an existing font, photographing handwriting on a supplied template, or drawing glyphs directly; the editor also accepts SVG from Illustrator. The workflow includes tidying individual letters, setting spacing, testing Dhivehi text, and downloading an installable font file. The page says photos are processed in the browser, while letter shapes are sent to the server for font generation. Work is stored locally in the browser, with project files offered as a way to move it between devices.
