“A man’s penmanship is an unfailing index of his character, moral and mental, and a criterion by which to judge his peculiarities of taste and sentiments.

Lord Philip Stanhope

  4. Yeah, sad. I was signing good conduct award certificates yesterday, and my YN asked "did you take a class in calligraphy?". No one writes - like with a pen - anymore.

  5. If you have a scanner, several sites (I used yourfonts.com, which creates font files compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux systems) will to generate fonts based on samples of your handwriting.

    I called mine:
    "nj public schools agony"

    Obviously it only works on those machines its installed on...
