Fountain Pen Handwriting Font?

[GOB Bluth]

Does anyone know of a Font that works in MS Word that resembles fountain pen handwriting. I downloaded one that is titled, "Fountain Pen Frenzy" but it is not very good.

I'd rather not assume what you mean by "fountain pen handwriting" so perhaps you should be a bit more specific.

[GOB Bluth]

A handwriting font that has the characteristics of a fountain pen...if such a thing exists.

There are a small number of cursive fonts, including one called "Cursive" I believe, but none will convince the reader you wrote it with a pen.

Maybe you'll find something at OldFonts which will meet your needs:

I love handwriting fonts, and I keep on looking for better ones. If you want free fonts, there are some at 1001fonts.com. Here are a few I like.

I normally find handwriting fonts a little cheesy, but the ones Felix posted above are quite nice, I have to say.

I purchased the Texas Hero font over a decade ago, and it was neat to see it's still being sold. It's pretty nice, with some alternate forms and ligatures with the key combinations documented in instructions that come with the font. That said, I think I would have chosen Lamar, if it had been available at the time.

DaFont is even better than 1001fonts. I had forgotten it.

Fountain Pen Frenzy- oy. The only accurate part is the "frenzy" bit. Smears and blobs everywhere.
