If you're going to waste your time, you might as well waste it on something totally awesome—something like this!

1. Download Microsoft's Font Tool for Tablet PC. Here's a direct download link.
2. Spend minimal time writing all the letters using your Tablet PC.  The program provides several tools to improve your budding font's quality, but for brevity's sake I'll just mention that they're available.
3. Briefly preview, then press the "export" button. Yes, this is as ridiculously easy as it sounds.
4. Step 4: upload a sample for the world to see!

Let's do this:

I know what you're thinking, and yes—yes, I am truly amazing sometimes. Instead of uploading my site logo, I could have just uploaded an image of the words "I am awesome", but that would have been…redundant.

Also, before you ask: I used WordArt.  Yes, WordArt—the industrial-strength graphic design tool that sets the standard against which all others are measured. Watch out, Photoshop!  More realistically: your days are numbered, PowerPoint-slide-distributed-as-poster!
