I just spent the last 24 hours building... a free tool to create your very own handwriting font quickly within the browser (no logins, all local processing):

Having tested it extensively on my own manuscript, I can definitely say that it works. ;) Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!
I am sooo glad that our entire ecosystem is being destroyed for something absolutely impossible to avoid such as... check notes... bad handwriting fonts.
@Rockerz @ChrisPirillo Just FYI
I have a signature font I created with Fontographer. It contains three signatures: my initials, first name and full name.
More than once I have had to return "signed" copies of documents by reply and in circumstances where I could create PDFs but wasn't able to print.
Chopping down trees to print, then scan, then email, or worse, expend energy transporting documents, isn't the alternative you think it is.
Any font that avoids that necessity is useful.
@ChrisPirillo @Rockerz When a colleague and I had to return signed forms and I used a signature font and he inserted a jpg and had it returned... I chuckled. Indeed, it looks "cool" if you know, and if you don't, it's even better.
I made one for a former boss of mine, back in the days if faxing PDFs by email, and he was very wide-eyed about it at first. As if I might direct his bank to transfer his savings elsewhere. He got over it.
