Create Fonts in Your Own Handwriting!

Someday back I wrote about a service which enables us to Create our own Fonts for Windows & Macintosh Operating System!

Now here’s another great online free service which helps us to create Fonts in our own Hand Writing! All you need is a Printer and a Scanner!

Font Capture enables us to create our own set of Fonts from your very own handwriting!

Follow these very simple steps in order to create Fonts of your own:

Step 1: First of all you have to download a Font Template and print it using a Printer attached to your Computer:

Step 2: After printing the font template, it’s time to fill it in with your own handwriting. For best results it’s recommended to use a black marker pen (Sharpie or similar). Make sure to leave a margin around each character.

Each character box has a set of guide marks to help you position the character. The middle one is called the baseline, and is the line on which a letter usually sits. Some letters, such as ‘g’ or ‘q’, descend to the descender line. Uppercase letters typically have their highest point on the ascender. It’s okay for accents to reach slightly above the ascender, but if you go too far you risk having your characters cut off. It’s therefore recommended to keep your characters within the ascender and descender portion of the boxes.

Step 3: As soon as you complete filling up the form, you have to Scan it. Following are some important tips to achieve Best Results:

• Set your scanner to operate in grayscale or color mode at 200 DPI or higher.

• Save the scanned image in PNG (preferred) or JPG format.

• Make sure you don’t scan the template upside down. If you do, rotate the image 180 degrees using an image editor.

Now you have to Upload your Scanned Form using THIS Page.

Bingo! In the immediate Next Step Your Own Personalized Fonts has been created!
