Kimberly did mine for me and did an EXCELLENT job! Since she's not doing them anymore, I'd definitely go with Darcy.

Just downloaded the stuff from Darcy yesterday, I just need to sit down and do it. I will try to remember to post back here and show you

Kimberly G. was teaching Darcy, sort of her understudy. Darcy has a few fonts showing and they look great, so I would guess she is qualified to make the fonts.

I also know of a several other font sites that can make your handwriting into a font: The Font Garden, however, it is much more expensive than Darcy & Terry, in fact it is $199! There are a couple others in this expensive range as well, Fontshop, a mere $179 and Font God at $75.95. There is a more reasonably priced company Quantum Enterprises, starts at $16.11 (It's a UK site, so the prices are in English pounds)

At the Fontifier you can get your handwriting for only $9! This site is actually recommended by numerous other sites.

I also found a good tutorial, My First Font, for making your own first font. It provides links to some font creator programs, including one with a fully functional 30 trial! The tutorial estimates one hour to make your first font. I'm thinking of giving it a try!

I saw a sample of one done by the Fontifier and was less than impressed. If you use it, make sure you write perfectly straight (level) in each of the boxes (hard since there's no bottom line, they give little dots - "pips" - at the edges to give you where the "line" on lined paper would be, at least). The person had done the sample had - as most of us will do - sloped one way or the other as she went across the page of boxes, so, say the E, M, and Y were the last in a row and the F, N, and Z were the first - every time it printed an E it was significantly lower than an even next to each other.

Granted, for $9, what do you expect, I suppose...

I cheated, I found a handwriting style free font that is pretty darn close to my own and use that for most journaling.
