Handwriting Font!

Never knew font creation was so easy!

I know some people were glad using keyboards that they would never have to write by hand again. But handwriting fonts give a personal touch. And you wouldn't want to write in somebody else's handwriting font :)
Steps :
  1. On a sheet of paper, Write all the characters that you see on the keyboard. Use a marker( since it has to be thick). The size of your characters should be about the size of a 72 size font
  2. Scan it
  3. Cut images out of each character
  4. Use Font Creator to create your font.
  5. You will have to play with it to get the sizes, distance between characters right.

Here is what I got. You can get the font here :

Is it enough just with the characters on the keyboard? What about any other characters as in déjà vu?

Well, I dont use things like "déjà vu" so much!

The font db is a huge set of characters which includes what you said. I didnt care to write all of them.

Not intending to say that your handwriting is bad, but I want to use MJ's Font !! I don't remember Vasu's handwriting.
I guess BR also used to write nicely.
