High-Logic has launched www.YourFonts.com, a free Internet service that
makes it easy for each member of the family to create custom,
hand-written fonts. YourFonts.com lets you quickly create a font,
install it on your Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux computer, and use
it in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and every program that you own. You
can create notes and cards in your favorite word processing software,
and print them in your own handwriting.
It’s easy and fun to create a new font. Simply print a copy of
YourFonts.com’s blank template, draw all of the characters using a black
marker or felt-tip pen, scan your template, and save it to your hard
drive. Then, upload your saved file to the YourFonts.com web site,
preview your font, download the newly-generated font to your computer,
and install it.
The service supports fonts for major languages, including English,
German, Dutch, French, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Polish,
Spanish, Portuguese, Basque, Estonian, Faeroese, Frisian, Irish,
Galician, Hungarian, Icelandic, Albanian, and Esperanto.
You can create a new font whenever the muse inspires you, free. Each
family member can create fonts to reflect their moods and personalities.
Creating fonts in your grandparents’ handwriting will encourage them to
write more often. Your new custom handwriting fonts let you save time
writing cards for the holidays, while adding a personal touch.
Whether you’re a parent who wants each member of the family to have
their own personalized handwriting fonts, a teacher who wants to track
how your students’ writing skills have progressed through the year, a
home user who wants to create custom fonts for each of the holidays, or
a business person who wants to add a personal touch to corporate
correspondence, YourFonts.com has the tools that you need.
If you’d prefer to create fonts on your desktop or laptop computer, the
company also offers Scanahand, an affordable Windows
Vista/XP/2003/2000/NT4/Me/98/95 application that has all of the features
of YourFonts.com. The Premium Edition of Scanahand includes a template
