Resolution Counts

I'd say that 300dpi is the minimum resolution you'd want to use for your own yourfonts.com handwriting images. An 800pt view of the # it generated for me reveals way too many sharp corners. One would hope that an image with more data—say 1200dpi—would make much better font outlines. Or maybe it's just a limitation they've imposed to keep the server that traces the images and generates the fonts fast and free.
