How To Create A Font From Your Handwritting

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Found a cool site that let you create a font from your handwriting.  I don’t know what I will use this for, but it looked cool and took me less than 15 minutes to do!  The site is http://www.yourfonts.com/.  To create the font you print out their template, fill out the letters of the alphabet (lowercase and capital) and then scan that template and submit it. I was thinking I would make all my blog post in this font, then  I realized that  no one would be able to read any of it, or would take them a while trying to decipher my chicken scratch.  Also they let you store in your signature which will definitely be useful for digital signatures on digital documents..Says digital Adam!

Below is and image of the exact post form above..happy I’m sticking with normal fonts! Or maybe people could use it as CAPTHCA..haha you know those little boxes you have write what the word is before you can submit a form.  Can you read this?
