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 published by
Simon & Schuster Education.
Obtainable from:-
Simon & Schuster Education
Campus 400
Maylands Avenue
Hemel Hempstead
Herts HP2 7EZ
Telephone 0442 881900
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
Winchester ( 0962 ) 862227 I will be pleased to help. I am also available to run one-day INSET courses on the teaching of handwriting in your school.
