It is a decent hand *printing* font and I have used it several times. What I am looking for, however, is one which simulates cursive script. I am the person who turned Paul Haerberli's font into a Type 1. I'm glad you liked it. The problem with a good cursive script font is that the beginnings and ends of each character have to be placed at exactly the same height so that the letters blend together. This is difficult, so it makes sense that people voluntarily buy these fonts from font companies, like mine. Good luck. -- Adam Grossman arg@bitstream.com
