I would tell you to go to yourfonts.com where you can easily create your own fonts, but since given a nod from lifehacker.com, the site has pretty much caved under the traffic. I was able to create my little block type font around midnight last night when it was apparently no longer rush hour. You simply print out the template, scratch down the alphabet in your handwriting, and boom, you got fonts. The template is small and you're not going to get the best looking fonts but it's fun to have a font of your own handwriting. No, I don't usually write in block letters.
I actually found yourfonts.com through Drawn.ca, a little illustration and cartooning blog who had found it via lifehacker. Yesterday was my first time on the popular lifehacker.com, which left me sort of creeped out.
Mission statement - a daily blog that features tips, shortcuts, and downloads that help you get things done smarter and more efficiently.
I did discover that Marie Callender's Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie is probably the most unhealthy thing you can buy at the grocery store. Well you know what, I kind of like those frozen pot pies! The shortest distance between life and death is an efficient, straight line.

The template is as large as your printer can handle, and the quality of my generated font is great!
Well I could have printed out the template at 40x50 on the big boy but just printed it out at 8.5x11, which is as large as most people can print. I loved the application though, it couldn't be easier to use and is a lot of fun. I'm just saying, it's a little limited if you're doing anything much more detailed than a "handwritten" font. But it's a free web app, it's not meant to be a professional font creator. Tell yourfont.com I said hello.
