Summary #
WHAT - This article discusses an experiment to create a custom font based on the author’s handwriting, using open-source tools like Inkscape and FontForge.
WHY - It is not relevant to AI business but it was fun to see how one can create a font from someone’s real handwriting.
WHO - The author is a developer who shared their personal experience. The tools mentioned are Inkscape and FontForge, both open-source tools for font creation. However, after seeing the open-source tools, the author chose a proprietary solution appreciated for its transparency.
WHERE - It fits into the broader context of customizing digital tools and creating personalized fonts, a segment of the AI market that focuses on personalization and UX.

The HTX Take #
This topic is at the heart of what we build at HTX. The technology discussed here — whether it’s about AI agents, language models, or document processing — represents exactly the kind of capability that European businesses need, but deployed on their own terms.
The challenge isn’t whether this technology works. It does. The challenge is deploying it without sending your company data to US servers, without violating GDPR, and without creating vendor dependencies you can’t escape.
That’s why we built ORCA — a private enterprise chatbot that brings these capabilities to your infrastructure. Same power as ChatGPT, but your data never leaves your perimeter. No per-user pricing, no data leakage, no compliance headaches.

FAQ
How can AI improve software development productivity in my company?
AI coding assistants can dramatically accelerate development — from code generation to testing to documentation. However, using cloud-based tools like GitHub Copilot means your proprietary code is processed externally. Private AI coding tools on your infrastructure keep your codebase secure while boosting developer productivity.
What are the security risks of AI-assisted coding?
Studies show AI-generated code has 1.7x more major issues and 2.74x higher security vulnerabilities. The solution isn't avoiding AI — it's pairing AI assistance with proper code review, security scanning, and private deployment to prevent IP leakage.
