I had to try it three times until it was ok for me.

short description:

You download a pdf - print it!

fill the form with your hand-font - be very careful and exact - direct over the printed "watermark"-letters - it don't have to be so "italics".. use a dark pen with 1mm thickness.

After filling the form - use your scanner - 300dpi greyscale - make a jpg not larger than5mb

Go to the Webpage and load your scan there.

About 2 minutes later You can download Your font and then place it into the font directory in the windows-directory.
After that - all applications can use it.
Enjoy

I also tried it 3 times, but couldn't get it to work properly. Maybe when I have more time I'll try it again. Nice idea...

Welcome to TalkGraphics hmooslechner

I moved your post to the Off Topic Chat. You found it OK.

This sounds really cool.

The P22 Type Foundry website has quite a few fonts made from the handwriting of different artists including Cezanne, Edward Hopper, Monet, da Vinci and more.
