I've been trying to figure out how HandFont — a professionally designed font based on my handwriting — is a professional necessity so that I can get reimbursed for the $249 it costs to do it. I do grade / comment on papers electronically, and this would allow me to do so in a more unique way. But the fact remains, the students can still read my comments fine in Lucida Grande.
Anybody have any ideas of why I really, really need this? Or, if you are looking for an overly extravagant gift idea...

Boy, it's funny (karmic?) you mention this because I just read an article about how to create your own font for free.

thanks for the ref. Sometime I might try that, but not sure which is more ridiculous — paying someone or spending the time to do it myself.
I have the perfect solution! Get a job at Hallmark as a lettering artist - spend about 10 years establishing your reputation - write in a way that has a particular emotional resonance or aesthetic significance not found elsewhere in the font server and - voila! - they'll TOTALLY turn your handwriting into a font!
Yours would be great for a line of apathy cards. Definitely an untapped market...
