Using the Jarman Font
Strictly speaking this is not a Font but a simulation of the Christopher
Jarman cursive handwriting as seen in the handwriting scheme for schools,
"The Development of Handwriting Skills" by Christopher Jarman now published by

The intention is for teachers and pupils to be able to write out their own
copy sheets for handwriting practice using their own words, to supplement
the Scheme.
As an Archimedes based outline font however, it will load into any suitable
program and can be used to produce documents with a hand-written appearance
when required.
If loaded into !Draw at, say, 70pt size,You can type out some letters ,convert to path, select fill colour as nil and produce some useful hollow letters to act as guides or mazes for letterforming practice. With little red dots or arrows to show where to start each letter, you are in business! Of course you can enlarge them to any size by dragging too.
Look at the font Jardotty to help with this too!
