Scanner

2)Print the Font Template Page.

After printing the font template, it’s time to fill it in with your own handwriting. For best results it’s recommended to use a black marker pen (Sharpie or similar). Make sure to leave a margin around each character.

Each character box has a set of guide marks to help you position the character. The middle one is called the baseline, and is the line on which a letter usually sits. Some letters, such as ‘g’ or ‘q’, descend to the descender line. Uppercase letters typically have their highest point on the ascender. It’s okay for accents to reach slightly above the ascender, but if you go too far you risk having your characters cut off. It’s therefore recommended to keep your characters within the ascender and descender portion of the boxes.
4) Uploading your completed font template:

Set your scanner to operate in grayscale or color mode at 200 DPI or higher.

Make sure you don’t scan the template upside down. If you do, rotate the image 180 degrees using an image editor.
