Description
Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful tool.
I am trying to use it on Windows Home 10.
I have installed fontforge in usual program files (x86) folder by download the installer.
Potrace is downloaded as zip and added the path to it in PATH env var.
Then from cmd I am running handwrite --directory "temp" "inputscan.jpg" "outputfont/"
In temp dir it creates all the folders per char.png (folder 59 is empty)
Then program throws error in sheettopng.py > cv2.inwrite() as below:
File "C:\Users\tushar\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main

cv2.imwrite(

I am new to python, please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thanks,

Research direction
Reproduce the reported Windows 10 command with the input image, then inspect the call path in cli.py and sheettopng.py, especially save_images where cv2.imwrite fails. Determine why the image passed to OpenCV is empty and verify that the handwrite command completes and produces the expected output font.
