There are about 300 handlettering fonts that were originally part of a ClickArts Handwritten Fonts set. I have samples of them all shown in the Script Font ID Guide. Most are in Part 11 starting at http://bowfinprintworks.com/Script11Pg1.html. Since that CD is out of print, it's handy to know that good ol' WSI copied and renamed all these fonts and sold them to third party vendors. I built an Alias List that equates all of these to their original ClickArt names, which are the names used in the Script Guide. The Alias List is at http://bowfinprintworks.com/ListPages/HWFontAliases.html. Then (last step) you go to this site (http://iquebec.ifrance.com/jeannine/6fontpolice.htm) and download the font for free.

If you're still looking, you can add
Sedillo and Fat Tip.
Both are free.

That's handwritten. All the zeros are different. If I had more
time I'd get you some similar fonts, but I'm sure someone
will get on it.

I'd go for comic book lettering if I were you.
And best of all, they're free! Just my two cents.

Dennis: OS X supports TTF files automatically. If you're still in OS 9 land, you can use the ancient (but still usable) tt-converter.
