Starting with an uppercase letter, can you train a computer to generate from it a lowercase version? And vice-versa? And then go, in stages, even more uppercase or lowercase? Probably not, but that didn't stop Tom7, aka suckerpinch, from trying. He kindly provides TTF fonts of the results, which I'm sure you'll find extremely useful for writing to beloved family members and courts of law.

Argh--the "Tom7" link doesn't work, because I specified https instead of http, and it seems his webserver isn't set up for that. Go figure!

"Why do easy things by hand in 90 minutes when you could spend weeks coming up with a super-complicated automatic solution that doesn't work that well?"

Sometimes on dark nights I think that this describes my current career of making workflow tools for artists.
