Are there any free handwriting fontware downloads on the net?

If so, please let me know where I might find them. I've searched and searched and can't find a thing.

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you are looking for, but DonnaYoung.org has wonderful handwriting helps...even tutorials.

 

She even has down loadable paper with the variety of lines you would need.

It depends on which handwriting program you use. We use GB Italics and there aren't any free ones that are exact. Other programs have some good options, though.

They also have some good math fonts that make clocks or dominoes or things like that.

 

If you have a specific handwriting program you use, you could find others by googling that +font, such as "d'nealian font".

 

HTH!

Hi,

 

Thanks! I'm looking for something similar to Startwrite or ed. fontware. Not sure such a thing exists. Is there anything like that at Donnayoung.org? Do you have a link?

 

Thanks again! :)

Not sure if this is what you mean, since I'm not familiar with Startwrite - but I use this page to make my own copywork pages...I got so frustrated with the handwriting worksheets that never turned out the way I wanted, so I was really happy to find one I can make work!

 

There's a trick to it the way I do it, b/c I don't have him trace the letters, just write them on the line below.

 

Here's how I do it:

1. I choose these options -

• Title, your choice
  
• Author, your name
  
• Page Orientation, Landscape
  
• Print Zaner-Bloser
  
• Letter size, Very Large*
  
• Line pattern, Dot Only

2. Then you put a short sentence in the first line. THEN PUT A FEW SPACES IN THE SECOND LINE. Another short sentence, or continued sentence from Line 1, in the third line. THEN PUT A FEW SPACES IN THE FOURTH LINE. and alternate words/spaces until you get it like you want.

 

*I choose Very Large, but the font actually gets smaller the more letters you put on each line. It shrinks to fit, in other words. I've only used this a few times practicing for our upcoming first year, so I need to sit and figure out how many characters fit on the page in the size I want them to be.

Thank you! I think I might be able to use this after a good bit of practice.:)
