ok, this is also cool:
but i really meant this:
want to know where i got that? ok, i'll tell you. you go to allie hoopes. in the right hand column of her blog you will find 2 places to click. on 'free fonts' you can find lots and lots of free fonts. including mine, and my friend ineke's. don't download them and use them to write cheques. the account has no money anyway... while you are there, read her blog. she's nice!
if you want your own handwriting as a font, you click on 'make your own font'. duh! here she explains it all. it is really simple, a blonde from benoni can do it! there is a place where you download a form. you print it, and fill in the blocks with your handwriting. and your hubby's, his cheque account may have some money in it... do not make the same mistake i made and use a too thin pen. i have to 'bold' the writing before i can use it. use a pen that is slightly thicker and darker than a normal pen. maybe a thicker tipped journaling pen. do a few practise runs first. then you scan this form at at least 300dpi. in .jpg, .gif or .bmp. she also explains this. then you attach it to a email, send it to her, and she will send you one in a day or 2. BUT, first you have to pay, of course. a whole $5. about R24 or so, depending on the rate of exchange. on her website is a place where you click to pay. you need to create a paypal account. this is easier that it sounds. don't let this step scare you, just follow the instructions. you pay using your credit card.
if you do it, let me know the result. i'd love to hear your comments. also, don't hesitate to ask me, or allie, if you don't understand something. have fun!
