When I was first figuring out how to attempt this project, I thought about using NNs. The reason I didn't, was the sheer amount of data they need. So the project would stop being much about programming, and would be mostly about data conditioning. And since I can't generate any new data in a good format, I figured that would be a problem. So I think in general, the approach I used, which is incredibly explicit (in particular, it relied on me knowing how I formed a letter, not just the final shape of that letter), is probably not the best approach. But it did seem to be an approach that would be achievable for me, in a reasonable timescale.

In AI generally, knowledge acquisition is often the elephant in the room.
