Research direction

Start with handwrite/svgtottf.py at convert(), specifically the subprocess.run call shown in the traceback, and reproduce the command on Windows. Trace which executable is being launched and verify the expected behavior when it is unavailable; done means the reported invocation no longer raises WinError 2 or clearly reports the missing requirement.
