How To Create A Font From Your Handwritting

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 form.  Can you read this?

    Love it! I installed a program called “Your Handwriting” ages ago, but I had some issues with how it turned out and never got around to making another whole alphabet as I wasn’t quite clear on where I’d gone wrong the first time. It’s cool to see something similar available online, I’ll have to try it.

    I’m checking out the handwriting font too, although everyone loves my writing, they always say the can’t read it!! Thanks for the follow too Adam. Keep me posted. Chanty

  7. Hey Adam

    I just clicked on the “follow” button on twitter. I see from your profile that you like new businesses. Too bad we didn’t know each other a few days ago. I am part of a new business that had their grand kick off in Tampa, Fl yesterday and Friday. The good new is that it is still VERY NEW. You have my website so drop by sometime.

    Go out and make it a successful day! :-)
