Does this sound possiable

[SignAttack]

I hope I am asking this question in the correct section..
Ok this is the dumbest thing I ever heard but I thought to myself that if it exist, then someone on here would know the solution.
That being said here is the issue.....
I got someone who wants to do a publication in his own handwriting?
So this is most insane thing I ever heard in life but wants me to make all his lines straight and lettering line up correctly (he wrote whole thing on paper and wants it to be cleaned up).
Sure I can spend till the end of time vectorizing whole thing and messing with each letter and than figuring that ain't perfect still.

1- is there a software that will like line it up Lol???
when i say this, i mean do it automatically hmm

2- how hard is it to turn his hand writing to a font?
i seen it done but done understand how to go around doing this

Yea I got stuff with most unusual request.

I'd ask for at least a few thousand dollars to create a font.

 

[Steve C.]

There is some software out there that claims to transform handwriting into
fonts. Try Googleing it. lining the characters up to match perfectly is
something that takes lots of time an patience. No software will do that for you.

Thank you Shovel for the info. on that
Thanks for the advice on your side to Steve...
Has anyone used that software with success?

I haven't tried it, but this looks like an easy and fairly cheap way to turn your handwriting into a font.
Take a look:

Hmm Rebecka that looks easy as heck I will give it a try.
Its like a favor i trying to do for someone so hope they appreciate this.

tell him that no one wants to read someone's handwriting... thats why we invented typesetting to begin with. Or, just tell him to write neater and preferably in Palatino!

I would also suggest changing it into a font.

If this is all hand written and you was to create a font out of this friends hand writing it would probably need to be retyped anyway! the cost of the time involved would be fairly substantial.

Do you know why they want it done like this, is it purely to be in their hand writing. or would there be another option?

 

[SignAttack]

He wants done in hand writing to be unique and he is also a little coo coo lol
I messed with that make own font thing and it is soo simple
i think this shall be the route i will take

Thanks a million

Hey Signattack, would be interesting to see it when you have finished.

Sounds like an interesting project.
