My friend found this and I am just so excited to do it. At this site, you can pay $9 and make your own handwriting into it’s own font! She did it and sent me hers. It would be so cute if we all could do it and then have each others handwriting in fonts! I especially think Danielle should do this, because she has such awesome handwriting.

Check it out here…. FONTIFIER

Here are my screenshots into the whole process :)

Well here it is…The overall result is ok, cute… I do really like the ampersand and the capital letters. But I think this could be better. Maybe because I didn’t use a felt tip pen and I probably wasn’t as regimented with staying in line with the x-heights. Also, my handwriting is a combo of cursive and printing, with a slant… so it took some pretty strong kerning, letter spacing and baseline shifting to get things to fit together…. I wish I could edit it now that I have the .ttf. It does look a lot like my handwriting though!

Also, I just found out my grandma went to the hospital. I think she is ok, but she’s struggling with the condition she’s due to have surgery for in November. Any prayers are appreciated.

I'd love it if you subscribed to my RSS feed.
