His handwriting should be a font



I don't trust sites that ask you to download an .EXE downloader. If you go here you can download it as a .TTF file

The '1' in that font clearly differs from the one in http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd08xx/EWD831.PDF


The "w" as well.


On OSX it just gives me a zip file with the font in it.


Wikipedia mentioned his handwrighting but that's the first time I see it. It really is beautiful. Reminds me of monaco.


I studied at Eindhoven University of Technology, where Dijkstra walked around for quite some time. His students stayed with him and became teachers. They all copied his handwriting.

No kidding - my first two years in college consisted, for a large part, of watching elderly men with beards write on blackboards in exactly that handwriting.

I can't help wonder whether they all drove the same car as Dijkstra too.
