Hi:

<<<Do we have any handwriting experts in the group? I'd be curious to know
how the publishers selected the various fonts to be used as signatures
on the various letters that crop up in the HP books. Each character has
a distinctive signature font. Another bit of arcana, I'm sure, but since
we've discovered that often the tiniest details turn out to be important,
I'd just like to know if the fonts were picked at random or were they
geared to the perceived personalities of the characters.>>>

The interesting thing about this for the PoU fans out there is that Lori
seems to have been prescient about Harry's handwriting as well. She
described it as "slanted spiky" handwriting, and I think the GoF font
can be described as such. It's back-slanted and a bit spiky I think.
