How do I make my document look like it was handwritten?

Question

I have an exam coming up next Monday. We are allowed to bring a sheet of paper with information of our choosing written on it. To my disappointment, it is required to be handwritten. Over the years, I have developed a distinct distaste for my own handwriting.

So before mustering the necessary resolve to create something ugly with pen and paper, I decided to first check out what options there are to make a LaTeX document look as handwritten as possible. And by the way, I really mean handwritten by an ordinary respectable human being, not some Cthulhu-worshipping gibbering madman, unhinged by the horrors he has witnessed.

Bonus requirement (perhaps this also helps to distinguish this question from others): If possible, I'd like this to work with online LaTeX distributions such as ShareLaTeX.

Answer 1

Use xelatex of course, along with a cursive font (there's plenty free online).

Warning: This might not be sufficient, it still looks too "clean" and the lines too straight for it to be actually handwritten.¹

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\setmainfont{Cursive standard}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}
