fontifier
fontifier will take a scanned sample of your handwriting and turn it into a windows or mac os x true type font in thirty seconds. and the best part is that its free (for now)!
the only part i found frustrating was its interpretation of thin lines. it suggests using a felt tip pen; i first used an ultra fine permanent marker because some of my letters take up a bunch of space (the lowercase g, q, and y, for example) so i wanted to write my sample letters pretty small. the font i got back was really sketchy with a lot of missing and/or ghosty looking lines. the pen that finally worked for me was a black fine tip permanent.
im not 100% satisfied with the results, but hey - it took all of one minute to do and cost me absolutely nothing. if i really really wanted the font letters to overlap like my writing does, i would have to take a whole lot more time with a font creation program and do the thing myself.
download the true type font Valette.
just one more way for you to stalk me.
