@Sumire Okay. Try *either* (or both) of your scans again.
@ChrisPirillo Thanks, I'll do it tomorrow and give you feedback.

@ChrisPirillo Thanks, I'll do it tomorrow and give you feedback.
@Sumire I have tested it extensively, including nailing down a bug in just one of your lowercase f characters. That probably took the longest! It's always Edge cases. But if I fix it for you, I fix it for everybody. So I'm very grateful that you helped. I tried both of your scans and they work.

@s0 by the way, it's done.

@ChrisPirillo I've tried it now. It's really great! But there's one thing I really miss: correct quotation marks. In German, we do them like „this“: a small 66 at the bottom front, a small 99 at the back (not actual numbers, of course, but the numbers illustrate where they are thick and how they are curved).
Edit: I tried entering them as alternatives to " but I can't get them to work on the keyboard
@exil_inselette I just posted an update.

@ChrisPirillo Nice! How much will it be off if I print on A4 instead of Letter size paper?
@Ganneff update posted.

Having tested it extensively on my own manuscript, I can definitely say that it works.
Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo Had something like this when I was a kid. Exactly the same setup. Large page where you write each letter, scan it in and it spat out your own custom font.

@tripplehelix I think it's fun.

@ChrisPirillo Sure is, I've printed a page. Just got to find a good pen to use.
