 No. It generates much much better glyphs than that. See

Out of mild curiosity: (a) what font did you use to create the legends in the frame of each glyph;

Chicago.


(b) are all the various representative glyphs
drawn from a common font, and if so, which one?

Of course they were not. No such font exists.


Defect reports based on the 236-page PDF:

p. 17 (Thaana):  the bottom of the frame reads "THAAN" with a broken glyph
following.

p. 18 (Phoenician):  the top of the frame reads "OENECIAN", the bottom is
blank, and the rest of the glyph is black.

p. 55 (Pahawh): bottom of frame is blank.

p. 63 (Syloti Nagri): both top and bottom read "SILOTI NAGRI".

p. 171 (Brahmi): both top and bottom read "BRAMHI".

I will look into all of that, and thank you for it; but note that of those only Thaana can be expected to display, as none of the others have been encoded. So none of those could EVER be displayed; they are just extra glyphs in the current font.
