Just a thought...

Maybe if my ticket has to be handwritten, I would "write" the ticket myself! (I have read the ARC ticketing manuals on issuing manual tickets [IATA tickets would be similar except the boxes might be in slightly different places])

I would ask my travel agent for a print-out of my PNR which includes the fare calculation and taxes and "write" my ticket onto a "template" (photocopied from blank ticket stock) so that the travel agent can "review/check" my "ticket template" before I actually write onto "real" ticket stock (then they would validate it on with their carrier plates [a carrier like CX that pays commission of course!] on their "roller device" once they are satisfied that the ticket is written correctly).

(If I can find a travel agent who would let me do this and maybe charge me $75 in service fees instead of $300)
