Create your own font from your handwriting | Ask The Admin. This is a cool little 10-15 minute activity that will keep on giving back to you for years to come. That’s right add that final customizing touch to your Windows, Linux or Mac machine – Your handwriting as a font! With some free time a visit to a website called YourFonts.com, a scanner and a printer you can create a font for use in any application on your computer. To me this sounded way too cool to pass up.

I went and downloaded the printable template from here and carefully followed the steps. The template looks like this: You print it out and add your letters to each corresponding box. What you see above is the first page. So if you just wanted to have a font contain numbers, letters or characters just fill in those. I was pretty excited, I grabbed a sharpie and went to work on my page. Now I messed around with the scanning properties and decided to use the grey scale you see above at 200dpi. Most scanning programs can save as for you. We would love to see what you guys come up with!! Your Free Online Video Editor | JayCut. Easiest Form Builder. Create your own Wallpaper - X3 Studios.
