You could do something like this:
Markup:
<p class="handwritten"><span class="content">
the text
</span></p>
CSS:
.handwritten {
font-family: "Monotype Corsiva", cursive;
text-decoration: underline;
background: white;
color: blue; }
.handwritten:first-line {
text-decoration: underline overline; }
.handwritten .content {
background: transparent;
color: black; }
Omit the second rule if you just want the text to sit on blue lines, instead
of looking like written between blue lines.
Unfortunately there's no way to control the vertical placement of the
underline (and overline).
