There's a computer-based handwriting generator, produced by researchers at the University of Toronto...

I created the above examples of "handwriting" not with my own pen and a scanner, but using the University of Toronto generator!

You can try it out here!

The results are just image files, so you can save them to your computer afterwards...

Here's the web page of the researcher behind it...

P.S. Sometimes, you have to try it a few times to get something you like (and which is readable)!
