Your Own Handwriting Font
Your prayers have been answered! “Fontifier lets you use your own handwriting for the text you write on your computer. It turns a scanned sample of your handwriting into a computer font that you can use in your word processor or graphics program, just like regular fonts such as Helvetica.” I picked up the link from Typographica this morning. The service appears to be free for the moment, although you may get a server-side error when you click through.
You rely on your computer, and so do your customers. Keep your computers (and theirs!) running in near-perfect condition with the help of Optimize 3.0. Use it to get rid of unnecessary files and junk, clean out your registry, and even streamline boot times.

It's working! It's working! And it shows what lousy penmanship I have. Uh-oh, here comes Sister Mary Elephant with her ruler!

Works best with a felt marker. Thick is good in this case, it will thin out when it's converted.
A pen will definitely not work out for you.

I wonder if they'll come out with a version that can use the rest of the special characters like the number sign, the percent sign, asterisks, etc. Otherwise I am pleased with the results. I used a FINE POINT sharpie and the results are just fine.

It didn't work well for me at all…. I kept redoing it again, and again & still looks very messy.

How do you get this (or any non-installed font) font to show up in your page? Can you e-mail the way do get this done? I'll be checking back either way.
Nice design ideas and execution!
