This font may be freely copied and used in schools for educational purposes, provided that this Readme section is also always copied to accompany the 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
Stanley Thornes Ltd
Ellenborough House
Wellington St
Cheltenham Glos GL50 1YD
Tel: 0242 28888
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.
In order to print the descenders g j p q & y properly, it is best to select line spacing which is 6 points above the value of the print size chosen.
If you have any problems or queries please ring me, Chris Jarman on
