Left handed writing

Question

Is there a way in LaTeX, which would make some text look like it has been written by a left hander. In italic fonts, is there a distinction between left handed and right handed writing(you can visualize what i am trying to say)?

REVISED ANSWER USING A TOKEN CYCLE

Here, I revise my original answer (see below) to process the character iteration inside a token cycle (tokcycle package). This allows an easier definition for the user as well as preserving functionality inside groups, such as \textbf as shown in the MWE. It also handles paragraph breaks seamlessly.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{emerald,tokcycle}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\newsavebox\foobox
\newcommand{\slantbox}[2][.5]{\mbox{%
        \sbox{\foobox}{#2}%
        \hskip\wd\foobox
        \pdfsave
        \pdfsetmatrix{1 0 #1 1}%
        \llap{\usebox{\foobox}}%
        \pdfrestore
}}
\newcommand\currentslant{-.7}
\newcommand\chariterate[2][\currentslant]{%
  \begingroup
  \resettokcycle%
  \Characterdirective{\addcytoks{\slantbox[#1]{##1}}}%
  \tokcyclexpress{#2}%
  \the\cytoks
  \endgroup
}
\begin{document}
Let us check the slanting token cycle.
\chariterate[-.4]{Let us see if it \textbf{works in bold}?}
Now let us do it in a handwriting font!
\ECFSkeetch
If my goal is to make something look like actual handwritten text,
then this might suffice.\par
\chariterate{While not technically correct, some left handers will
slant their handwriting to the left, anyway.  Let's see if this works in multiline?
And let us also see if it works in a separate paragraph?}
\chariterate[.2]{Extra right slant}
\end{document}

ORIGINAL ANSWER

1st paragraph is normal slant handwriting, while the second is leftward slant handwriting.

By convention, left-slant handwriting is not taught (and therefore it does not exist in pre-defined fonts), but a number of lefties and (as Mico notes) some righties adopt the style in their handwriting.

Here, I implement a character iteration scheme, where \charop{} is applied to each character of the sentence (the iteration is needed to allow line-breaking of the result). I define \charop to employ Bruno's \slantbox code (Shear transform a "box") to take the hand-written character and slant it leftward. The slant value may be changed with \renewcommand\currentslant{}.

EDITED to correct parsing when encountering a letter repetition in the input.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{emerald}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\newsavebox\foobox
\newcommand{\slantbox}[2][.5]{\mbox{%
        \sbox{\foobox}{#2}%
        \hskip\wd\foobox
        \pdfsave
        \pdfsetmatrix{1 0 #1 1}%
        \llap{\usebox{\foobox}}%
        \pdfrestore
}}
\newcommand\chariterate[2][c]{\chariteratehelpA#2 \relax\relax}
\def\chariteratehelpA#1 #2\relax{%
  \chariteratehelpB#1\relax\relax%
  \ifx\relax#2\else\ \chariteratehelpA#2\relax\fi
}
\def\chariteratehelpB#1#2\relax{%
  \charop{#1}%
  \ifx\relax#2\else
    \chariteratehelpB#2\relax%
  \fi
}
\def\currentslant{-.7}
\def\charop#1{\slantbox[\currentslant]{#1}}
\begin{document}
\ECFSkeetch
If my goal is to make something look like actual handwritten text,
then this might suffice.\par
\chariterate{While not technically correct, some left handers will
slant their handwriting to the left, anyway.  Let's see if this works in multiline?}\par
%\renewcommand\currentslant{.2}
%\chariterate{Extra right slant}
\end{document}

And here it is using a different, less scratchy, font (and slight adjustments on default slant)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{aurical}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\newsavebox\foobox
\newcommand{\slantbox}[2][.5]{\mbox{%
        \sbox{\foobox}{#2}%
        \hskip\wd\foobox
        \pdfsave
        \pdfsetmatrix{1 0 #1 1}%
        \llap{\usebox{\foobox}}%
        \pdfrestore
}}
\newcommand\chariterate[2][c]{\chariteratehelpA#2 \relax\relax}
\def\chariteratehelpA#1 #2\relax{%
  \chariteratehelpB#1\relax\relax%
  \ifx\relax#2\else\ \chariteratehelpA#2\relax\fi
}
\def\chariteratehelpB#1#2\relax{%
  \charop{#1}%
  \ifx\relax#2\else
    \chariteratehelpB#2\relax%
  \fi
}
\def\currentslant{-.6}
\def\charop#1{\slantbox[\currentslant]{#1}}
\begin{document}
\Fontskrivan\slshape

\chariterate{While not technically correct, some left handers will

\renewcommand\currentslant{.2}
\chariterate{Extra rightward slant.}
\end{document}
