Create your handwriting font
Ivan | Sat, 2005-07-02 08:32Fontifier lets you use your own handwriting for the text you write on your computer.
It turns a scanned sample of your handwriting into a handwriting font that you can use
in your word processor or graphics program, just like regular fonts such as Helvetica.
This is my handwriting font preview below created by fontifier: 
I didn't buy the font, so I can't verify it's quality, but I'd love to hear from someone who actually has first hand experience.
is there an easy way to do this yourself with some mac software?
the tablet has come in handy for particular letters but it might be cool to have your own fonts.
You can do this Fontographer. But the software itself is not cheap and it's not as straightforward as this web app. If you were gonna create just one font for fun this is a good solution.
guess I didn't even look at the price just saw you type "buy" and, yeah guess I'm cheap.
