   What I am looking for, however, is one which simulates cursive script.

I am the person who turned Paul  Haerberli's font into a Type  1.  I'm glad
you liked it.

The problem with a good cursive script font is that the beginnings and ends
of each character have to be placed at exactly the same  height so that the
letters blend together.   This is difficult, so  it makes sense that people
voluntarily buy these fonts from font companies, like mine.

Good luck.
