# My own hand-writing font
> See the demo webpage, [here](https://naereen.github.io/My-Own-HandWriting-Font/).
> You can select different font, and see how they look on some examples of text.
> This example shows this font, [`LilianMar-Regular.ttf`](css/fonts/LilianMar-Regular.ttf) (see also in other formats, [`LilianMar-Regular.woff`](css/fonts/LilianMar-Regular.woff), and [`LilianMar-Regular.otf`](css/fonts/LilianMar-Regular.otf)).
## How?
- I have tried [Calligraphr](https://www.calligraphr.com/en/webapp/), only the free plan. See [the FAQ](https://www.calligraphr.com/en/docs/faq/#faq-common-problems) if needed. It gave this font [`LilianFeb-Regular.ttf`](css/fonts/LilianFeb-Regular.ttf)
- But I didn't want to pay a license for Calligraphr, and I wanted to build/hack on my own tool.
- So I rescued the dead open-source project [Fontify](https://github.com/fontify/fontify/), now hosted at [https://github.com/Naereen/fontify/](https://github.com/Naereen/fontify/). Before working on it, it gave this font, [`LilianFeb2-Regular.ttf`](css/fonts/LilianFeb2-Regular.ttf), and now after improving all what I wanted to do, it gave [`LilianMar-Regular.ttf`](css/fonts/LilianMar-Regular.ttf) (see in the webpage for a demo).
## Other examples
### With Beamer
See [this discussion](https://github.com/Naereen/slides/issues/6#issuecomment-370741926) explaining how to use a custom font for only a part of a [Beamer-LaTeX slides document](https://perso.crans.org/besson/publis/slides/2018_01__ENSAI_Seminar_BrownBag__Article_ALT2018/slides_169.pdf).
It looks like this:
## With XeLaTeX
See [this example](https://perso.crans.org/besson/publis/latex/test_handwritten_font_with_fontify.pdf) showing a complete demo of using a custom font in a LaTeX document.
## With Marp
See [this example of a custom CSS theme](https://github.com/Naereen/slides/blob/master/common/marp-naereen.css) where I use my own handwriting font to say "thank you" at the end of [slides](http://perso.crans.org/besson/publis/slides/2018_03__Jupyter_notebooks_are_awesome__GouTP_at_Supelec/slides.pdf) [generated with Marp](https://yhatt.github.io/marp/).
