Hi,
My name is Swayamjeet Swain, am from IIT ROORKEE, India.
I am wishing to apply for GSOC 2019 and have been working quite a bit
towards it. I have been using Inkscape quite extensively, especially for
CNC and plotting tasks and have been making extensive changes to the
current Hershey's text extension available in Inkscape.

I have indeed expanded it to take in whole PDF documents and generate
single line texts and tweaked the fonts library to make my handwriting's
unique font. (Fun part is that I submit my practicals and college
assignments by using a plotter which I made and generating gcodes for these
single line fonts, as the fonts we generally use are incompatible (no one
writes like that).)

I am adept at python,c and c++ , and I am looking forward to make a project
which can generate handwriting fonts after taking in written alphabet's
image from the user.

 But I am indeed a bit unsure if this is an acceptable project to be
included as an feature or am I moving towards making another extension (and
if that too works). I have already built Inkscape and have been going
through the code. Please suggest how I should proceed.

Thanks
Swayamjeet (Swayne)

P.S. This mail feel like bursting a big bubble. Thanks to the other
aspirants for the confidence.
