I did not read the start of this thread
but
if the person needs to find a handwritten font,
I may be able to help. I have a large number of fonts
in my collection. Also there is a news group that
help identify a fonts identiy or one close enough to it
to use
alt.binaries.fonts.idenity
alt.binaries.fonts
I have use them from time to time.
I hope this helps. If not, email me - off this system

David,
I tried a pdf export in OpenOffice and confirmed your result.
I then tried creating a pdf file using PDFCreator (another free
program). Using PDFCreator, it came out fine. I'm not sure why there was
a difference between OpenOffice pdf export, and PDFCreator, but there
definitely was. Maybe someone else on the list who is more knowledgeable
than I am can help explain this.
(I'm cc-ing this to you because you appear to be not subscribed to this
mailing list, but please make any replies to the list only, not to me
personally, so others on the list can help.)
Hello David,
Only the odt made it to the list, the pdf's not (filtered away).
I would say it's normal that the white from the boxes with the names
shines through since you scanned them with this white background...
Another solution: can't you find the font used for the Kimberley and
David and simply type the names, instead of scanning them with the
white background? Or instead of white use a similar colour to the one
of the background image?
And: best wishes to the both of you
