Abstract

A computer-implemented process includes: receiving into a computer memory a response to a generic question not specifically related to handwriting style; converting the response into one or more tags representing handwriting characteristics; selecting a typeface having a handwriting characteristic of one of the tags; receiving a text string to display into a computer memory; and displaying the text string by rendering glyphs from a font file containing glyphs for the selected typeface, after applying random variations to simulate human handwriting variation.
