In this, you need to write each of the character in your handwriting. This will serve as the final font that will be created. After filling in the template sheet, you need to scan the sheet and upload it to FontCapture. After that, FontCapture will create a font file from your handwriting. Once the font file has been created, you can download it to your PC or Mac, and start using it immediately.
Whole process of creating fonts from your handwriting is quite easy, and works very well. The whole idea is very novel, and the best part is that you do not need to download or install anything, and it is completely free.

Update: They now allow you to create font for free, but you have to pay to download that to your computer.

@James: The font creation part is free, but download is not free anymore. We updated our article earlier to reflect that.

You can create the font for free...
But if you want to download it and be able to use it, you have to PAY!
