For those of us who are too lazy to actually write this site is wonderful!

YourFonts.com has forms for you to download and write on (this is the hardest part. We’ll get through it together), scan and upload to their site.

Within about 15 minutes you’ll get a font, in your handwriting, ready get on your computer and type away with.

It’s all free too!

I’ve printed the 2 pages of sample template already and will, at some point scan and upload it today. As soon as I can dig out my scanner.

Nearly 43,000 fonts have been downloaded so far.

Get yours at YourFonts.com

**Update**

I gave it a quick test. It’s eerily accurate.
I’ll have to run it through again though and try harder with the writing demo.

    Very cool! I'm trying it out now. It doesn't look like you're able to capture your writing in cursive, though… and I generally write in cursive… when I write…

    I'm giving it a go, though and I'll let you know how it works out!

    Thanks for the great info!!
