Beautiful fonts for Cyrillic in Word. Russian handwritten fonts

As you know, there can never be too much of a good thing. This also applies to fonts. A beautiful, balanced font can decorate any project. But finding the right typeface can sometimes take a lot of time, especially if the designer needs a handwritten font. Such fonts differ from serif and san serif in that they often imitate the designer’s handwriting or his vision of how a handwritten font should look. This is not to say that there are few such fonts; on the contrary, there is a clear overabundance of them. But there aren't that many really good handwriting fonts, especially free ones, so designers have to scour a lot of sites in search of the real diamond. FreelanceToday brings you 20 free handwriting fonts that can be used in both personal and commercial projects.

The font can be used in various informal projects, it is funny and even a little brutal. Chrisopher Hand can be downloaded for free, commercial use must be discussed with the creator.

The other day, our group was faced with a serious problem - for missing pairs, we had to submit handwritten essays. For two passes - 1 abstract of 15 sheets! Yes, I haven’t messed up that much paper all semester, thank the eggs. Therefore, we had to resort to tricks, namely: find normal ones (Cyrillic) and put them into Microsoft Word, and print out our abstracts.

Here is a selection of 80 Russian handwritten fonts. In the archive you will find the following (and other) copies:

Make your own Russian handwritten font

But after downloading these fonts, it became clear that no one would believe that we write like Pushkin, Boyarsky or Mozart. So we had to make the handwritten font ourselves. But how can you make your own font exactly like your regular handwriting?

First, install Font Creator 6.
Next, on a blank sheet of paper (lined or squared will not work) we write all the letters of the Russian (English, and others if necessary) alphabet, as well as numbers and special letters. symbols.
Let's scan the resulting creation. Next, we cut the scanned image into separate letters and numbers (Photoshop or plain paint will do), and name it accordingly.

Next step in Font Creator:
- Click file - new (New)
- We give a name to our handwritten font (for example Moy_shrift), put a check mark on Unicode, on Regular and on Don’t include outlines (for a blank silhouette form), in short, everything is by default.
- A panel with silhouettes of punctuation marks and English letters appears in front of you. You need to insert Cyrillic alphabet into it. We proceed as follows:
1. Click Insert in the top line, select Characters, YES.
2. A table of symbols of the first font in your database appears in front of you. Then we flip through the pages of the table with the Block→ button.
3. Find Russian letters.
5. Look at the index of the first letter A (I have $0410) in the Selected Character field.
6. Look at the index of the letter I (I have $044F)
7. In the Add these character... field, enter these numbers (as $0410-$044F).
8. Click Ok.
9. Your template has been updated with the corresponding Cyrillic silhouettes.

10. You can also separately insert the characters you are interested in (Ё, ё, etc.)
Now click on the silhouette of the letter you want to create with the right mouse button.
Then select Import image.
In the Import image section, you click on the Load button.
In the next window, you open the folder in which you saved the written letters and symbols.
An image of this letter will appear in the window; click on the Generate button.
So your letter appeared.
Double-click on the square with your letter (the square in which the silhouette of this letter used to be).
A lined window opens in front of you. Don't be scared by the large number of red dotted stripes, they will all come in handy.
For convenience, expand the window to full screen.

If your letter is too large or small, then delete the one already loaded, load a new one and, without clicking generate, click on the Glyph tab. Here we select the appropriate multiplier (this is done at random) and click “use as default”.

Next, let's look at the two main lines (this is in the lined window) - left and right - they determine how the letters of your handwritten font will touch each other. If you want the letters to touch (as in a manuscript), move the right line over the letter (so that it extends slightly beyond the line).
The lowest line (Win Descent) is the maximum limit for letters with a tail (ts, u, shch, z, r, d). If necessary, you can omit it:
The second line from the bottom (Baseline) is the support line of each letter. If your letters stand differently on this line, then everything will dance in Word.
The third line from the bottom (x-Height) is the maximum height of small letters.
The fourth (CapHeight) is the maximum height of large letters, numbers, as well as the letter “c”, and for some it may be “d” and “b”.
And the fifth line from the bottom is the edge line of the top line. (in my opinion =)

High school and university students often have to complete a large number of written exercises while doing homework. For example, our social studies teacher gives us an assignment every lesson, which requires us to find material in the library or the Internet and write it by hand (only for this we can get an “excellent” grade), even if the material found is correct, but printed on a computer, don’t expect anything higher than a B...

Based on all of the above, I came to the conclusion: I need to make a font for the computer that duplicates my handwriting. In my opinion, I did it successfully. My own mother would not be able to tell where I wrote by hand and where I typed it on the computer. Many of my friends liked this idea, and they began to ask me how I did it all. And so as not to explain it to everyone a hundred times, I decided to write this article - a plan for completing the work with detailed comments.

So in this article I will tell you how to make a font that imitates your handwriting.

For work we will need:
1) sheets of blank paper in A4 format;
2) black gel pen;
3) printer;
4) scanner;
5) High-Logic FontCreator program (I suggest downloading from the official website of the program).
To download, click on the provided link.

1 step

Take a landscape sheet of paper and write on it all the letters of the Russian alphabet (lowercase and uppercase), numbers from zero to nine and punctuation marks: period, comma, semicolon, colon, quotation marks, dashes, parentheses, etc. If anyone needs, you can add other symbols that will be useful to you when writing, such as @, №, $, #, ^, %, *, etc. Write beautifully, display each letter so that later all your work does not go down the drain.

Step 2

Scan the sheet with the letters written. And those people who managed to fit all the characters on one page will eventually receive one big picture.

Step 3

Then open the FontCreator program from the manufacturer High-Logic. Her window looks like this.

In the window that appears, you need to enter the name of your future font.

Click “OK” and the following appears. window.

In this window, open a picture with your letters. Select the letter “A”, copy it and return to FontCreator, open the cell with the letter “F” and paste your letter there. The red dotted lines can be moved, arrange them as shown in the following figure.

The letter must be on the Baseline and must NOT extend beyond the top horizontal line (WinAscent), and must NOT extend beyond the bottom horizontal line (WinDescent), otherwise it will be cut off. The vertical left line should be where the letter begins, and the vertical right line should be where the letter ends. If the letter extends beyond the vertical lines, then when printing there will be an overlap of one letter over another, this also does not suit us.

Now I will explain why we inserted the letter “A” into the cell with the letter “F”. This program is designed to create fonts using Latin letters. On the contrary, we need to make a font for Russian letters. Therefore, the RUSSIAN font we made will be on the LATIN layout. To make it more convenient, we will insert Russian letters into cells with Latin letters, in accordance with the keyboard.

Insert the letter “Y” into the cell with the letter “Q”
Insert the letter “C” into the cell with the letter “W”
Insert the letter “U” into the cell with the letter “E”
Insert the letter “K” into the cell with the letter “R”
Insert the letter “E” into the cell with the letter “T”
Insert the letter “H” into the cell with the letter “Y”

After you place all the letters in the cells, you will get a picture like this.

Now you can test the resulting font. This can be done by pressing the “F5” key, or by going to “Font - Test...”

If you are happy with everything, save the resulting font and place it in the “C:\WINDOWS\Fonts” folder. The font is installed, and now you can select it, for example, in Microsoft Word and print text with it. Below is the text printed in my font.
