Your handwriting as a font!

[Raithlin]

I couldn't help myself. www.yourfonts.com - you download a template, and fill in your own letters. Scan and upload, and 2 minutes later you have your own TrueType font. Brilliant, and free.

Saw this earlier on Lifehacker. Thought it would be cool to try out... until I remembered even I can't read my own handwriting...

Does it work well?

 

[LazyLion]

can't even get on the site now to load my own... site is overloaded since it got life-hacked!

Cool. I always wanted something like this. I like to think that I have a nice style although I am not consistent enough. Sometimes it becomes somewhat ...eratic.

Interesting indeed

I've done two now and it's awesome.

Yeah, think mine could be used for electronically generated doctor's scripts.... come to think of it, maybe I should copyright it and sell it to doctors.

Oooh, I like your idea...
They can use ours if their handwriting is too neat, so they don't lose credibility.

I'd call mine "Crab_Font_Extreme_Italic.ttf"

Really cool. Thanks for sharing Raithlin.

Awesome - now my letters AND emails can be illegible...

 

[Raithlin]

I created my own handwriting font, then used FontCreator (trial) to straighten it out a little. That made it look like I can actually write on a straight line.

Very cool - going to try this at some point today.
