I'm new, obviously.

Try Scanahand.

and: welcome!

Um get a font software? Duh.

Uhh, then what is Scanahand> Duh.

I would try www.YourFonts.com. You print out a sheet and fill it out. Then you scan it back on to your computer and upload it on the website. though it costs $10.00 to make thats the cheapest you'll probably get. I would in a heartbeat but I don't have a program. Sorry!

Hi xCaroline,
Not sure if you're still looking for a solution to this, but www.FontPanda.com does basically what yourfonts does but it's free. They will make your handwriting into a font and then add it to their website for others to download. Hope that helps. Cheers, Nic

i'll do it --> https://bonezdesignz.bigcartel.com/product/your-handwriting-into-a-font

You need to get a tablet for drawing. I recommend Wacom.

Not with the Scanahand template fontpanda etc use. You do need a scanner though.

it's free.
You need a printer though, and ideally a scanner though I just took a picture of mine and went in an cropped it and it turned out alright.

Maybe iFontMaker ($6.99) (if you have an iPad):http://2ttf.com/
