This doesn't really sound like it's worth it...even for nine bucks.

With a gazillion different fonts available in so many word processing programs, I am almost sure there is one very similiar to the one you came up with in this column, and I don't think it is worth $9. It is an interesting concept however, just should be free.

umm... how about just use the program that comes with a Tablet PC... windows incorporates this!! (i think it is an add-on... but none the less free from microsoft) no need for this program at all... ive done it several times.

9 bucks seems ok to me. Especially if it's more robust than free ones. Thanks for the article.

Fontifier is much better for signatures, but it's a nifty service for the price. Another inexpensive approach is a font site like www.fontmarketplace.com - they have some nice script fonts for like $4.99 - which is much cheaper than other commercial font sites.
