Convert your handwtiting to a font.Your Handwriting II

Your Handwriting II is just a emazing software. Now you can make your own fonts in just 2 very simple steps

1. Print the 3 page sheet, fill it in your handwriting,
2. Scan it in Your Handwriting or with any other scanner program and save it in a image file(bmp)
3. Rest will do this program and your own handwriting font is ready for use

Note: All windows platform compatible, however on vista help file will not work. Just read the

manual if required, otherwise program is so simple that nobody will need to read the mannual.
On a whim, I bought a copy of Your Handwriting 2.0, a font creation package from Data Becker. I

wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. Aimed at non-designers, the program turns

anyone's handwriting into a Windows TrueType font. Use your font to personalize letters, cards, and

other printed projects.

Using your printer (to print required forms), a flatbed scanner, and the software, it's easy to

create a basic font in just a few minutes. Spend a bit more time on the process and you can turn out

even better fonts. The first, and fastest option, uses just a few sample characters to create a font

that simulates your handwriting. It's fast, it's easy, but I like the custom option better because

it allows for even more personalization of the font.
After printing out the required forms, simply write each character in a square on the form. Scan the

form using Your Handwriting Assistant, then make as few or as many adjustments as you want until the

font is just the way you want it. If a few letters don't scan well, no need to start over. Another

special form lets you rewrite and scan just the characters you need and add them to your font.

the Font Editor screen for Your Handwriting 2.0You can adjust the weight, width, spacing, and shape

of individual characters. Unfortunately, you can't make global adjustments once you've begun work in

the Font Editor; but, for most users, this isn't a problem.

In addition to the font creation portion of the program, it includes a Mail Editor for composing

email messages. It interfaces with your default email program to send your message in Word .doc

format or as a .JPG attachment. I found it less than overwhelming but it works just as described in

the manual.

2.0The two fonts shown here are the first two fonts I created with this program. They don't have all

the extended characters but you'll find a complete standard alphabet in upper and lower case,

numbers, common symbols and punctuation. Like them? They're free for your use.

The manual recommends using a felt-tip marker to write the characters for scanning. I used a marker

for one font and a soft charcoal art pencil for the other. A plain ball point pen is not recommended

but you can experiment with various writing utensils to get a good scan and the look you want. I

plan to try a cursive font and a dingbat font next.

While it can't compete with programs such as Fontographer, Your Handwriting 2.0 is an easy to use

program that just might whet your appetite for more serious font design. At the very least, you can

preserve your handwriting or that of your children for posterity. The interface is simple, the

manual adequate, and the fonts it makes work with any program that can use Windows TrueType fonts.
