Feel like making your personal emails more friendly? Maybe you're a holdout from the days when we actually wrote our correspondence. Like, with a pen! Maybe you just want to add a personal touch to you emails - making them yours and yours alone. Why not use your own handwriting?
Here's a simple program that turns a scanned sample of your handwriting into a handwriting font that you can use
in your word processor or graphics program, just like any other font - for example, Arial, or Helvetica.
In seven simple steps, you can create your own personal handwritten font:
1. Print out the Fontifier template sheet.
2. Write characters on the template.
3. Scan the template, and save it on your computer.
4. Upload the template and create your font.
5. Now's the unfun part - you preview, and buy the font. If you don't like the way it turned out, you can try inputting the characters again. The good part is, your font is only $9.
6. Once purchased, you can download your font, and...
7. Install it on your computer!
According to its creators, "Fontifier creates a TrueType font, which can be installed and used on Windows or MacOS X systems.Fontifier fonts are not directly compatible with MacOS 9, but you can convert them to MacOS 9 format with a free utility, TTConverter."
Your personal handwriting can add a nice touch to scrapbooks, photo captions, emails to (and from) kids - and you can also create a signature font. The new signature template allows you to create a font containing up to 26 signatures, greetings, phrases, logos, or pictures, which you can then add to your documents simply by typing a single key A to Z.
