I've been looking for a nice handwritten custom font for my Kindle PW2. The ones I've found are nice but seem to have only one type, not the whole set: regular, bold, italic, italic bold. I've read that it's best to have all these variations of a font.

The reason I'm looking for a handwriting font is to use in books which are diaries, or for young novels. For example, I recently purchased (it's free) A Diary of a Private School Kid by Penn Brooks, from Amazon, so would like a young, handwritten font for this.

However, for more mature diaries, I'm looking for an elegant, but very readable font, preferably not quite cursive.

I found a few of both, but they don't have the entire set. Do I lose a book's italics etc if the font doesn't have an italic variation?

Any ideas?
Thank you.
