The Secret to ByHand's^tm
Beautiful, Natural Calligraphy::

Using SagittalScript^tm technology, each script in ByHand^tm includes information on pen speed and direction, which is used to recreate the way a pen would look on paper. It is much more natural than "script" fonts in many ways:

allows letters to extend over, under, or through the surrounding letters;

each script can contain many examples of each letter, from which ByHand^tm chooses according to the surrounding letters, to simulate natural handwriting;

you may choose messy ink, uneven text baselines, or uneven left margins for a more natural, handwritten look;

you may use commonly available pen tablets to enter your own calligraphy or handwriting directly into the program.
