does anybody know how to take a scanned image of handwritten alphabet and turn it into a font? i've tried an online service, fontifier, which doesn't produce very high-res fonts (the font needs to be very crisp and must be able to be blown up to a large size). i've tried fontlab, which doesn't seem to be the best way to go for this. any other suggestions?

here's a little TT editor i started fonting with years ago:

i believe there's a free trail for 30 days.

And after that, the trail goes cold...

Happy trails to you!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist, especially with that cowboy persona you have now :-) )

ScanFont is quite good for this...there's still a certain amount of tweaking involved, but it's worth it if you're interested in the DIY method...
