I presume this means using 'm' (the glyph that looks like 'm') for /t/,
and the mirror-image 's' for /g/, etc.?

On my Linux machine, the Postscript fonts for Century Schoolbook L [URW]
uses handwritten glyphs when italicized, and printed glyphs when
non-italic. AFAIK, this font should be free (in the Open Source sense).
However, it's a Postscript font and not TTF, so if you're on Windows
this probably doesn't help you.
