Cursive generator

How the generator writes

Each letter is drawn from a declared, openly licensed cursive typeface, one for each style: Playwrite US Trad for School cursive and Pinyon Script for Copperplate (both SIL Open Font License 1.1). Real hands join letters in more ways than a typeface can, so use the result as a model to copy, not as a sample of someone's handwriting. Letters the typeface does not have are left as gaps in the text rather than replaced with a different letter.

How to use it
