README for fonts-dkg-handwriting (version 0.17)
-----------------------------------------------

This is a simple, fun font i've been working on to learn more about
fonts in general.  It would not have been possible without the very
cool fontforge package.

I built the font by simply scanning in a handwriting sample (using
xsane), generating simple SVG paths from the sample (using inkscape's
brightness method of tracing bitmaps), and then importing and tweaking
them in fontforge.
