A test, because I saw ‘script’ writing in [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3267964#post3267964), and it intrigues me so . . .

So away we go:

Test Line One: Century

Test Line Two: Arial

Test Line Three: Times New Roman

Test Line Four: Courier

I gotta see how this works :dubious:

Now where the heck is the script font?

A test.

Well, **Tripler** , in this thread, the poster of the post you quoted discovers how to do it.

Apparently , the font is called “monotype corsiva”

Thusly, Wolfstu spake. And lo, the peasants rejoiced.

And suchly, wolfstu’s errors became compounded, until the peasants became impatient, and by and by infuriated.

[This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=176220&highlight=trogdor+kerrek) time, it works. Really.
