This is my very own handwriting! It took me about an hour and a quarter.

Ok, a few problems, but they are fixable. You need to add the symbol: ' " ` ~. For some reason, when I type in word, it still looks all grainy [or however you would discribe it,] but that's only at 100%, but if you zoom into something like 200% it's fine... Other than that, it's pretty sweet though.

by that, I think you mean how Word will condense three periods into an ellipses, unless it's in my font. That is because the ellipses is a seperate character than the periods.

Instead of the three characters (. + . + . = ...), it sees ... as one punctuation mark, much like a question mark or parenthesis.

I didn't set up much punctuation in my font; only the basics. You can manually type the ellipses, but if Word keeps turning it into the single character, I suggest editing your spell-check dictionary. It would likely be in:
Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar > Custom Dictionaries
But I'm not sure. I've never really messed around with that aspect of Word before.

I wrote out the alphabet, first lowercase, then all caps. Then I wrote the numbers, and punctuation. I used an ink cartridge pen, not a roller ball, because I needed the ink to be very uniform and dark, and have crisp edges. I scanned the sheet into my computer, and I saved each letter, number, as a file. I seperated the lowercase letters into one folder, the capital letters in another, etc.

I used a font creation program... I believe it was by High Logic. I imported each picture for each letter, resized them, set the kerning. Simple. It took me 80 minutes, and I'd never even touched the software before. It was very easy to use.

the software I used was demo. X[ I offered to make fonts of my friend's handwriting, but it expired; I can't even fix it by setting my computer calendar back.

easy way to do that. It might possibly work. Uninstall from your computer, and install it again!

nope. Most, if not all programs edit your registry to show that they've been installed. When you uninstall them, it doesn't revert that edit in the registry, so any further installs will know that you've used up your trial time.

I've only come across one program that didn't do that. It was very simple, likely a project somebody made for school. I turned back the date on my computer's calendar, and that changed the number of days left before it expired.

just go into the run window and type regedit , find it and delete it, might not be the safest way, XD
