It's never been easier for Windows users to make their own custom fonts.
Scanahand creates fonts that you can use in Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Notepad, and any Windows application. You can even load your
fonts on Macintosh computers. As more web browsers support webfonts,
you can also use your fonts in websites!
How does it work? Simply print a template, draw all of the characters
using a black marker or felt-tip pen, and scan your drawing. Scanahand
will build your font, and install it on Windows, ready for you to use.
You don't need to use additional graphics software, but Power Users and
Hobbyists alike can use Scanahand along with their favorite graphic
drawing software to create or modify each character of their font. So
even without a printer and scanner you'll be able to create custom
fonts.
The Standard Edition allows you to create fonts that support English,
German, French, Dutch, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Basque, Estonian, Faeroese, Frisian, Irish, Galician,
Hungarian, Icelandic, Albanian, and Esperanto.
The Premium Edition incorporates all features available in the Standard
Edition and also allows you to generate fonts based on custom templates
as well as the available signature and symbol templates. It also allows
you to set the font style by going bold or italic.
