MicroSoft Font Maker

[browj2]

Has anyone tried making their own handwriting font using MicroSoft Font Maker?
I installed it and created my own handwriting font. It's so bad that I will stick to something more legible like Lucida Calligraphy.

To make your own font, you need a touchscreen and a stylus. I use the MS Surface Pro 4 and a stylus with a bent nib (it keeps falling on the floor). Maybe I can blame my poor handwriting on that, or the creeping arthritis in my thumb. To correct a letter, use the eraser end of the stylus.



I tried out my own font in Xara DPX and there was no improvement; I still write poorly.
