Open Source Automatic Writer

Great idea.
So using your method even a single font can be varied to drastically change its appearance.
Do you have any example of it?

no sorry, i've never needed to implement something like this. i honestly only just thought of this after taking a look at the OP's project.

you'd need to be somewhat clever about constructing the filter(s) though. you want to make sure that the output still resembles the input. my guess is that it isn't a trivial problem and would depend on the font and alphabet.

if it turns out that you can do this with a linear filter, then you just need to convolve the two images. as far as implementing 2d convolution... that's easy:

if you could use different filters (or sets of filters) to mimic different personality profiles that would be nifty. try and fool a handwriting analyzer

Who needs to hand write assignments these days? Even in high school I was required to type out my assignments and hand them in....

I remember in 6th-8th grade, all our assignments were hand-written. I started missing those days when the online classes I was taking in high school were all required to be turned in as .doc files instead of e.g. a text box on the web page. Even short answer stuff, multiple choice quizzes...
