It's no secret that I worship fonts and typography (you'll find plenty of links to wordy posters or free fonts over on my facebook page), but today I discovered something pretty amazing - a site where you can convert your own handwriting into a font to use on your computer.Here is the tutorial - if it is not showing up as a new font, you can see it written in my new handwriting font by clicking on the image in the top corner!
OMG - I am soooo excited! I just found a site where you can make your own font from your handwriting for FREE, and it is easy once you get the hang of it: 1. Visit the website below, 2. Download the template, 3. Fill out the template (TAKE YOUR TIME and use a MEDIUM thickness pen; I used a thin black pen which didn’t work so I had to re-trace all my letters which is why it looks scratchy), 4. Scan the template into your computer, 5. Upload the file onto the free-font website, 6. Wait for it to convert, 7. Right click on the ‘ttf’ file it generates to save it to your computer, 8. Drag a copy of the font into your font file on your hard drive. 9. Start using it in word or powerpoint! 10. (More instructions on the site). Best wishes, Linda @ Partycraft Secrets X (PS – this image was made in Wordfrom my own handwriting font... again; go slow or you end up with some funny results... but it really works amazingly well and is so much fun!)
