How to Write Letters without the hand cramps

If you’re like me, you’ve spent so much time typing, that it’s not only faster for you than writing by hand, but if you write with a pen for any length of time, your hand cramps.  Now, I’m also plagued with bad handwriting (thanks dad!), so I don’t even bother anymore.

There are family members though, that whine that they don’t get handwritten letters.  Now, thanks to Fontifier, I can accomplish both.  My family gets what appears to be a letter written by me, and I get to type it.  I’ll just tell them that they got a photocopy because I spilled juice on the original and didn’t want to start over.  Or something.

This really works, it’s really simple, and it’s free.  Props to Jeffrey Zeldman for linking to this on his site, which is how I discovered it.

Make a “stick men” font, where they’re all bendy to form the letters.

OR, do them normal, but put the wrong letters in each box.  Name the font Comic Sans, and diseminate it throughout the internet in hopes of destroying the real Comic Sans.
