Excellent site, thanks!!

We need to get someone out there with some really good handwriting or someone with some really got drawing skills to create some cool fonts then post them for us to use :)

This is cool, thanks!

Why would I want an illegible scrawl font?

Agreed! & repped for that suggestion too!

cool site! Wish our scanner wasn't on the fritz

This is fun! Thanks!

Thanks
This will be great for my scrapbook projects!!

I haven't tried this yet but if you don't have a scanner but do have a digital camera, could you try snapping a high-resolution photo of your completed form? Maybe that would be enough to create your own font.

What are the chances that someone uses your font to sign your name for fraud

Server Pretty Busy Today...

At the moment our site is overwhelmed with visitors from lifehacker.com and other blogs that pick up the news about our service. So far over 3,300 fonts have been successfully generated during the last 17 hours. We appreciate your interest in our font generator, but please understand our server is not able to process all your requests at the same time. If for some reason your upload fails, please try again at a later time. Thanks for your support!

....wow.....

:thanks:

The database connection could not be established:

Thanks OP!

Has anyone been successful yet? I'm curious to see how this would turn out.

thanks

The site is obviously getting hit right now! Just keep trying and it should eventually work for you!

At least 35 font generation tasks are currently in the queue.Warning: There are too many tasks in the font generation queue. Please try again later
I have been trying since posted
Which of you Sders keep jumping in line in front of me ? ;)
who'da thunk the SD effect would affect a free font generator site ?

I have done it and like it. Piece of advice - used a fine point sharpie. I used a ball point pen and the font turned out very light.

heres the first ones I did.....theres more to come....:nod:

...the password is not very hard to guess, it might start with an "S".....

Thanks for posting! I'm looking forward to giving it a shot.

Worked great for a sheet my wife did. Didnt see anything about a waiting list, just uploaded and had it downloaded a couple minutes later.

heres the first ones I did.....theres more to come....:nod:

...added a password....VERY EASY...

aww...couldn't look at it since there was a password on the zip file. Oh well. I'll have to try this out at some point.

somehow I don't think it's a good idea to include your signature... can we say fraud anyone?? How convenient that this company now has a sample of all these handwritings... and I'm assuming you had to enter a name to use it??

The signature from what I understand is so that other people cant access your fonts and handwriting, if you dont want to you dont have to sign it, or you could even sign Mickey Mouse if you are that worried about someone having your signature.

Philosophy
We are only interested in collecting and retaining the information that is necessary to effectively run our business. We respect your right to keep your personal information private.

Uploaded Files and Generated Fonts
We never share personal information. Occasionally an attempt to generate a font fails, and then we might look into such problem to see if we can improve our font generation algorithm. So that's the only possible reason for us to use uploaded data, and even then it's only used to look into issues with our font generator. Although it makes us happy to see so many people pleased with their own custom fonts, we are by no means interested in the individual fonts generated through our service. We prefer to put time and effort in improving existing and developing new software and services.

E-mail
We will not sell your e-mail address, nor do we provide it to advertisers or mass marketers. In other words, you will never receive junk mail based on information you submit directly to us. You may remove yourself from our electronic mailing lists by following the directions included in each e-mail or at this page.

You do not have to input anything in order to create a font. By saying that I mean no email address, address, name or nothing!

By the way, thanks! Mine came out great!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

very cool, just did it and love the new font.

I'm guessing people would want to read what I wrote and therefore would not want to be subjected to my own handwriting, but I like this idea in regards to capturing my daughter's primitive handwriting.
