   I am looking for a PostScript font that would let me print text as if 
   it is handwritten. I believe such fonts are known as "cursive" fonts.

LucidaHandwriting-Italic designed by Kris Holmes of Bigelow & Holmes is
great for this.  It's part of the LucidaBright + LucidaNewMath font set.

There also some `stick-writing' PD fonts flying around,such as that by
Haeberli...
