Currently Fontifier creates a TrueType font, which can be installed and used on Windows or MacOS X systems.

Gotta find a different pen. I had to print it out a few times, messed up writing it(as you can see from the screen shot).

That is by far the best thing I have ever done on my computer. This website should get nominated for billions of awards. It is incrediable! 5 stars.

You can stick other things in the boxes if you don't have a scanner. Grab some images off the Web and map them as you wish. However, as you can tell by this example you're better sticking with handwriting.

I only mapped two faces (A & B).

I find that the fonts turn out small even if you write them huge.

Certain characters turn into Times New Roman and don't really look good since they're pretty big (handwriting fonts come out small at normal sizes). Too bad they couldn't put all the characters that can be made on the keyboard, even though that'd be a bit tedious.

I take it that penmanship isn't emphasised as much in school. I guess with technology, typing has phased out handwriting. Cool site though.
