teachinglaffs Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 My daughter wants to pay for my handwriting to be made into a font. I thought I could purchase it here. If not, where would you get it made? She said she has done some research and she thinks you get what you pay for. Thanks for any help and opinions.

Nica Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 We don't have a service to change your handwriting into a font, and I'm not sure of a decent company that does. You might Google it and see if customers have left any reviews... In the meantime, we do have a section of fonts in the Boutique: Fonts. I found some handwriting type fonts: Lettering Delights Cursive Font, Lettering Delights Scriptive Font, Lettering Delights Pretty Pen Font, Lettering Delights Painter's Hand Font, Lettering Delights Long Hand Font, & Lettering Delights Dear Diary Font. My very favorite is Lettering Delights Warm Heart Font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Abramson Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 if you have an ipad, there are apps that will help you do it yourself by drawing your letters in the app and it will provide a link to download a finished font file. the one that I use is ifontmaker.

teachinglaffs Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Conda, I did try one of the free font sites. My daughter wants my cursive handwriting and it didn't line up the tails of the font. It looked choppy. I think the free font site would be fine for printing. Remember, I taught handwriting when I was a teacher. My tails have to connect. LOL I will look at ifontmaker.

alsoarty Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I know we had a tutorial about how to do this. I need to do some research. I'd love to see your handwriting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The tutorial was on Ro's blog, which she has recently had to turn off. There is a site where you can have it done and the results look pretty good, but unfortunately, it is a competing site, so I can't give you the link. Sorry!

KFiasco Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It was Tamara that showed us a free site to do it. I tried to do my niece's daughter's and never got it to work. It may be my scanner. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
