Actually, True Type fonts of your handwriting are available, for any platform that accepts that font type. I don't have the URL for them, but there is a pointer to it at HTTP://www.ntu.ac.sg/~tjlow/gclub.html
The URL itself is: Turning Personal handwriting into TrueTypeFont (http://execpc.com/~adw/). It includes an interesting .gif file of the producer's handiwork, but alas such a font costs $99.
Using it would play hell for handwriting analysts, though. And if it was programmed to change the pen pressure as well --- the possibilities are staggering. Can a pen plotter change pressure?
Uh, no one can't change pen pressure, but I think it can be mimicked. If the effect one seeks of changing pen pressure is to vary the line width or ink deposited onto the paper then varying speed, and/or overwriting with or without offset can achieve interesting effects. If I recall correctly, the HP pen position is addressable to 0.001" resolution, (though not accuracy.) I recall creating some nice effects with multiple pen colors offset by a few mils in x and y.
