With my own handwriting, once described in school as "bovine diarrhea committed to paper" (a rough translation) I have come to admire people's handwriting in a sort of wistful way. I think a discussion around this post would be incomplete without reference to the font made from Dijkstra's beautiful and clear hand writing. http://lucacardelli.name/indexartifacts.html http://lucacardelli.name/indexartifacts.html (search for Dijkstra) or if you prefer a pdf preview http://lucacardelli.name/Artifacts/Fonts/Dijkstra.pdf http://lucacardelli.name/Artifacts/Fonts/Dijkstra.pdf I wonder if Ramanujam's handwriting has received similar treatment. A sidenote: while searching for Dijkstra's font on Google had an experience that had but disappeared from my memory. It has been a while since I have been in a situation where I am unable to google to the the page that I know exists on the web. This is the second time in the week that I felt this, something afoot ? In any case wanted to find the letter to Dijkstra asking for permission to use his handwriting for a font.
