Learnings from training a font recognition model from scratch (https://www.mixfont.com)

I’m curious to know how this model tackles newly released fonts. How difficult would it be if this model needs to recognise font in a different language?

Graphic designer here. A font recognition ai is sorley needed. Gemini and its competitors flat out lie when asked and Adobe Illustrators Retype is laughably bad. The problem I face almost every day is not to find a close match but to find the actual font in use, commercial or not.

Curious why the model architecture wasn’t talked about at all? Did I miss that part?

Instructive, with a rewarding repo for your time.
