Could you use a font that looks just like your handwriting? For free? That includes your signature? YourFonts will create one for you. But hurry; they've generated 155,499 fonts already and will charge when they hit 250,000.

just go to http://www.yourfonts.com for info on how to make it. It's fairly easy. all you need is a printer (to print the template), a scanner (to upload the template, and a few minutes (to both fill out the template as well as to upload it). You'll then get a TT font pack for use with Windows, Mac, or Linux systems.

but, hurry to get it. as I said, they'll start charging once they get to 250,000 uploads, and they're already up about 156,000 (as of this post).

If my handwriting was any decent I would try it out. I'll stick with my Disney fonts. :D

This is a really cool idea. I'd consider it if years of typing hadn't destroyed my handwriting. :lol:

Looks like they are now charging. You can still download the template, though. It's quite helpful for getting your glyphs the correct size and lining them up.

You can create your own font using Corel Draw if own it.
