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,

(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!)
