It's never been easier for Windows users to make their own custom fonts. Scanahand creates fonts that you can use in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Notepad, and any Windows application.
As more web browsers support webfonts, you can also use your fonts in websites!
How does it work? Simply print a template, draw all of the characters using a black marker or felt-tip pen, and scan your drawing. 
Scanahand will build your font, and install it on your operating system, ready for you to use. You don't need to use additional graphics software, but Power Users and Hobbyists alike can use Scanahand along with their favorite graphic drawing software to create or modify each character of their font. So even without a printer and scanner you'll be able to create custom fonts.
The Standard Edition allows you to create fonts that support English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, Portuguese, Basque, Estonian, Faeroese, Frisian, Irish, Galician, Hungarian, Icelandic, Albanian, and Esperanto.
The Premium Edition incorporates all features available in the Standard Edition and also allows you to generate fonts based on custom templates as well as the available signature and symbol templates. It also allows you to set the font style by going bold or italic.
