Dean's Hand by dean-r

I made this when one afternoon, I just felt like making a font. Took six hours, and a lot of cursing at a program I didn't really understand, but the apparent reviews of it seem to indicate it was a job worth doing.

Awesome font, one of the best I've downloaded. I'm using it a lot as I love the look of handwriting but my own is far too illegible to ever be used.

I took the liberty of moving your font to the newly implemented sections.

dean-r Featured By Owner Feb 19, 2004

Ah, thanks. Truth be told, I'm not here that much so I'd have had no clue how to move it without your help.

Bleh, the picture works fine on my website and looks fine here... wonder why it doesn't there.

Meh, here's a link to my website, a picture of it is there, at least. [link]

Rawr! It won't show up on my screen. Curse sodding windows 98! ><

dean-r Featured By Owner Jan 5, 2004

Ah well. At worst you could download the file, shove it into C:\Windows\Fonts and see how it looks on your computer?

dakth Featured By Owner Jan 5, 2004

A solid font. I've been looking for a handwritten font like this. Great work.

nice font

dean-r Featured By Owner Jan 3, 2004

Thank you.

ktcoope Featured By Owner Jan 2, 2004

It's a great font, I use it on my ID. The only problem is the capital A, which seem to have a big stroke at the front so it looks more like \A

Other than that it is fanatasic ^_^

dean-r Featured By Owner Jan 3, 2004

That's often how I write A's, lass

KoochiZibble Featured By Owner Jan 2, 2004

I must admit, I like that font; I've downloaded it. Thanks!

dean-r Featured By Owner Jan 3, 2004

I'm glad to hear it, I made it in the hopes others would enjoy and download it.

I could've sworn I wrote an LJ post explaining how to do this. Most important part is a program called Font Creator Program, though. It has a 30 day expiry so as soon if you install it it's best to have the time to really work on it.

Then you need to write every letter, number and symbol on your keyboard onto a scrap of paper and scan the paper in (about 600%, monochrome) before cutting and pasting each letter seperately into its own respective file. Then in the font program you paste these letters/numbers in, and edit them if they look a bit scrappy.

It took six hours on a relatively busy day to make it, I'd say if you were determined to and had nothing getting in the way it could be done in five.

THE HANDS ARE GOING TO STEAL YOUR SOUL TOO.
