I've mainly been learning to read/write Chinese using computer based software as opposed to going to lessons etc.
However, I've realised that there is a small handfull of characters that look different handwritten and on the computer (and sometime there seems to be variations between fonts as well)
For example: 聚
I've seen it written once, and the bottom looks very different (so much so that I didn't recognise the character!)
Is there a rule of thumb for variations between handwritten/computer fonts? Also, is it acceptable if I hand write characters in "computer form"?
Thanks!

As you can see, those two characters (both 聚) seem quite different. If I remember correctly, the large black one is more similar to the handwritten one I saw (whereas the blue one is the one I usually see on the computer/mobile).
Note: I'm fairly sure this isn't a case of simplified vs traditional.
