This is a great site.
Fontcapture will allow you to create your own font and use it in your writing. I would think this would be a neat way for students to practice their own handwriting and design their own font to use in any word processing program. All you need is to print out the sheet that is found on this site and fill it out using a fine black pen. Then you scan the sheet, upload it to the site and it will translate the information into a font that you can use on your computer.
