> That's not really realistic, it can't even do normal cursive handwriting

There is no such thing as "normal cursive". Cursive as a general style is primarily defined by joined characters, which this generator definitely does, in contrast to print writing which has separated characters.

Even formal cursive writing systems vary wildly in style and construction, and I'd venture a guess that vast majority of people do in practice have pretty sloppy style.

There exist handwriting styles that have been standardised by their national ministry of education or similar, and millions of school children each year learn it. It is true that quite soon the individual's styles diverge from the normal form.


All styles I tried have first capitalized letter separated (not joined as it should be properly) and written in print writing, that's not really cursive by my standards.
