[Guide] How to use your own handwriting as a font in android

[yog12]

hello friends,
today in this tutorial i'll show you how to use your own handwriting as font in android

before starting you need rooted android device ....
but if you are having non-rooted device then give a try to @BenCkay13 's method written in this post

android is usually know for its customization and themes. having your own handwriting in as a font for android will make your device unique from others it adds more personal touch to your device.
we are going to use MyScriptFont and IFont app achieve our goal.
Tip: if you want to add support for more characters, more languages you can use Font Painter Site (follow procedure from here :- Font Painter tutorial) and follow then continue from step 8

Steps :

1. Go to MyScriptFont

2. Download the templete as pdf or png and print it.
3. use a Black pen and fill that form and scan it in at anything between 300-600 dpi or open it in a paint program (or any other) to fill it out .

4. Now upload Scanned template .
5. Give a name to your font
6. Click on Start

7. Wait till it generates the output Download generated .ttf file and paste it on your SD card.
8. Now download and open iFont app
Note : ifont works on Rooted device only
Click on “My Font” Tab.
Click on “Click this” text

9. Navigate to your .ttf file path select your .ttf file

Click on set. Now set your font

That's It. now enjoy your device with your own font.

here is my result of my handwriting :v

i have made video too check it out.....

For Non-rooted users Give it a try

You can also do this with a non rooted phone as well.
Follow all steps up until iFont.
Don't use iFont.
Download HiFont
Download .tff file and paste it into HiFont directory.
Go to My Fonts in HiFont, click scan.
Click your font then follow the on screen instructions to complete

Suggestion

if your handwriting doesn't look like natural writing . print the template at a smaller size and fill it out (this way you can write smaller and also with a thinner pen ), since the actual size is not that relevant for the scan.

Please Do Share your Fonts Wallpaper & ScreenShot : here

That's legible at least. Mine looks like WW2 codes that needs a decryption book to understand it.

haha funny what is all possible today. Maybe i will to it just for fun.

 

[enaybee]

but this would only show on the device where its installed ... right?
it would be even better if it would show as-is on other devices too i.e. when I send sms/whatsapp messages to other people ...
in any case, cool tutorial OP. Thanks.

 

[Revenant Ghost]

That would really add more of a personal touch to your device. Very nice.

I will be scanning the print out via Camscanner. How to scan it in 600x300dpi?

 

[wolfballz]

Thanks for this tutorial. There's a lot of fonts out there to choose from but getting your own handwriting on your device is pretty bad ass.

Mine is also hardly legible. If I write, I can't read the text within a minute. My teacher said that it's better for me to use the computer for school etc., but now I'm hardly doing school stuff at the school computers and good ol' Kim Yong Un would use it for encrypted letters.

Well my writing isn't that bad that I can't read it myself. Over the years I have improved my handwriting but its not that good still.

It seems we are also going off topic. Lets stop before a mod comes in. ?

Mod edit: humungo-quote removed.

Where did you get that iron man image for your wallpaper on your phone?

 

[arnabJ]

I tried this but it came out all messed up. Looks nothing like my entered characters.

Ok, understood. I need to use thick/ bold point pen. i used the regular one used for day to day writing.
