Sažetak
Identifying handwriting has always represented a challenge as there is no such instrument that could identify the scriptor in a clear and unambiguous way. In fact, identification has to be made by a handwriting expert, while instruments are used only as tools in his or her work.
Materials used for handwriting and signature examination involve all types of documents, including wills, contracts, checks, credit card sales slips, anonymous letters, threatening messages, receipts, authorizations, farewell letters, notary public registers, passports, notes, lottery tickets etc.
The aim of this paper is to examine the possibilities of handwriting analysis of documents written in different alphabets (Latin vs Cyrillic alphabeth, and vice versa).
The professional standards used for evaluating handwriting and signature in the Latin alphabet can also be applied to those in the Cyrillic alphabet. The most important element is the movement of a writing instrument on a writing surface, leaving a trace on the paper that has an important role in identifying the scriptor.
In order to answer research questions in this paper, testing and an analysis have been conducted of the handwriting of 12 volunteers from the Vukovar area (a place in Croatia near the Serbian border) who use both alphabeths on a daily basis. The photographs used in this paper have been made by scanning the original materials.
