I've downloaded several watermark script style fonts and every one that I use is blurry on my exported photos whereas when I use a block style font, it's as sharp as can be.  What am I doing wrong??????

From past experience I do not believe your will have success using the script fonts as 'Text'.(See the forum link below)

You will be far better to use the fonts in Photoshop to create a PNG Graphic image to use as a watermark. Set the Lr-Classic watermark editor to use the 'Graphic'

Create a Graphic In Photoshop-

Type your watermark text (Signature)

Apply any effects such as Stroke or Shadows

Delete the background layer (that leaves the text with a transparent background)

Trim the document down to the text. (MENU: Image > Trim..  Transparent Pixels)

[Save As] a PNG filetype.
