I'm after a font family for handwriting script style but I've got so many 
font's on my machines I've no idea which are even the common windows ones.
I think Monotype Corsiva might be one...?

There is no basic generic font class for this style so does anybody have a 
family list of handwriting script style fonts to cover all common OS?

What's wrong with "font-family: cursive;" ?

In any case, you'll need that as a backup, because you can't guarantee 
any particular handwriting style font to be available, and you'll have 
to accept that some users won't see a hadwriting font at all.

I've got Monotype Corsiva here...
"Script", "Lucida Handwriting" "Lucida Calligraphy" "Marigold", 
"Mistral", "Viner Hand", "Vivaldi"...
  are also on my PC - I think they are all from either Win XP or MS 
Office of some vintage.
There's lot more - why not list all the ones you know in your order of 
preference? I don't think there's any limit to the length of a 
font-family list.

That's curly cartoon, I'm after more posh script. I got hold of a mate with 
a mac and pieced together a handy little family of my own over the day based 
on 'Monotype Corsiva' (modern windows) and 'Apple Chancery' (common mac) if 
anybody wants to take record of it.

font:italic 14pt 'monotype corsiva', 'apple chancery', 'Palatino Linotype', 
'Book Antiqua', 'Palatino', serif;

Monotype Corsiva is italic by nature and doesn't respond at all to the 
italic instruction- you see where I'm going with this?

If you *must* have the right font, you'll have to use a graphic. 
Otherwise you have to accept what will a compromise for some viewers.

Yes, that's a bit like what I suggested earlier - make a big list and 
hope most users have something that's included.

I used to look at a blog that was done in a font family that defaulted to a 
normal font if you did not have the correct one installed. It was designed 
to work equally well in either.
The prefered font was one you had to download and install.
It was the writers own handwriting.
I made a font of my handwriting at one time and it works very well.
I used to use it for bulk mailings of envelopes where you could even inkjet 
it and smudge them slightly as thry came out of the printer for that 
authentic touch.
Thats when I worked in the cuthroat world of charity fundraising.

You set the family as italic so the Palatino etc get italicised into a 
similar form as MC but the MC doesn't get over warped.

The point of the post was to ask if anybody had an efficient list something 
along the lines of what I now spent the day forming and given you rather 
than listing every font under the sun.

You set the family as italic so the Palatino etc get italicised into a 
similar form as MC but the MC doesn't get over warped.

The point of the post was to ask if anybody had an efficient list something 
along the lines of what I now spent the day forming and given you rather 
than listing every font under the sun.

Time for the pub I think (we've got 1:00am at the Green Man)

What's wrong with "font-family: cursive;" ?

In any case, you'll need that as a backup, because you can't guarantee 
any particular handwriting style font to be available, and you'll have 
to accept that some users won't see a hadwriting font at all.

I've got Monotype Corsiva here...
"Script", "Lucida Handwriting" "Lucida Calligraphy" "Marigold", 
"Mistral", "Viner Hand", "Vivaldi"...
  are also on my PC - I think they are all from either Win XP or MS 
Office of some vintage.
There's lot more - why not list all the ones you know in your order of 
preference? I don't think there's any limit to the length of a 
font-family list.

That's curly cartoon, I'm after more posh script. I got hold of a mate with 
a mac and pieced together a handy little family of my own over the day based 
on 'Monotype Corsiva' (modern windows) and 'Apple Chancery' (common mac) if 
anybody wants to take record of it.

font:italic 14pt 'monotype corsiva', 'apple chancery', 'Palatino Linotype', 
'Book Antiqua', 'Palatino', serif;

Monotype Corsiva is italic by nature and doesn't respond at all to the 
italic instruction- you see where I'm going with this?

If you *must* have the right font, you'll have to use a graphic. 
Otherwise you have to accept what will a compromise for some viewers.

I used to look at a blog that was done in a font family that defaulted to a 
normal font if you did not have the correct one installed. It was designed 
to work equally well in either.
The prefered font was one you had to download and install.
It was the writers own handwriting.
I made a font of my handwriting at one time and it works very well.
I used to use it for bulk mailings of envelopes where you could even inkjet 
it and smudge them slightly as thry came out of the printer for that 
authentic touch.
Thats when I worked in the cuthroat world of charity fundraising.

You set the family as italic so the Palatino etc get italicised into a 
similar form as MC but the MC doesn't get over warped.

The point of the post was to ask if anybody had an efficient list something 
along the lines of what I now spent the day forming and given you rather 
than listing every font under the sun.

Time for the pub I think (we've got 1:00am at the Green Man)

What's wrong with "font-family: cursive;" ?

In any case, you'll need that as a backup, because you can't guarantee 
any particular handwriting style font to be available, and you'll have 
to accept that some users won't see a hadwriting font at all.

I've got Monotype Corsiva here...
"Script", "Lucida Handwriting" "Lucida Calligraphy" "Marigold", 
"Mistral", "Viner Hand", "Vivaldi"...
  are also on my PC - I think they are all from either Win XP or MS 
Office of some vintage.
There's lot more - why not list all the ones you know in your order of 
preference? I don't think there's any limit to the length of a 
font-family list.

That gives you Comic Sans MS, I'm looking for posh not Po, but thanks for 
the thought.

"Cursive". Works on any browser, on any operating system.

That's curly cartoon, I'm after more posh script. I got hold of a mate with 
a mac and pieced together a handy little family of my own over the day based 
on 'Monotype Corsiva' (modern windows) and 'Apple Chancery' (common mac) if 
anybody wants to take record of it.

font:italic 14pt 'monotype corsiva', 'apple chancery', 'Palatino Linotype', 
'Book Antiqua', 'Palatino', serif;

Monotype Corsiva is italic by nature and doesn't respond at all to the 
italic instruction- you see where I'm going with this?

Web design is not graphic design.

If you *must* have the right font, you'll have to use a graphic. 
Otherwise you have to accept what will a compromise for some viewers.

Yes, that's a bit like what I suggested earlier - make a big list and 
hope most users have something that's included.

You've lost me there.

I used to look at a blog that was done in a font family that defaulted to a 
normal font if you did not have the correct one installed. It was designed 
to work equally well in either.
The prefered font was one you had to download and install.
It was the writers own handwriting.
I made a font of my handwriting at one time and it works very well.
I used to use it for bulk mailings of envelopes where you could even inkjet 
it and smudge them slightly as thry came out of the printer for that 
authentic touch.
Thats when I worked in the cuthroat world of charity fundraising.
