SchoolHouse Fonts Sampler Read Me

Thank you for trying Signature Software's SchoolHouse Fonts. These TrueType fonts are perfect for making custom worksheets for teaching handwriting at any level. The four fonts included here are representative of the two different SchoolHouse Fonts Collections, each containing 18 fonts and based on the two most commonly-taught handwriting styles in the U.S. Set A is in the Zaner-Bloser® style, and Set B is in the D’Nealian®. Font types included in the complete collections are plain, guidelined, guidelined with arrows, arrowed, dotted (traceable), dotted with arrows, and dotted with guidelines. Each collection has 8 printed fonts, 8 cursive (non-connected) fonts, and 2 cursive-connected fonts.

Installing the SchoolHouse Fonts Samples

Drag the font suitcases of the fonts you wish to use into the Fonts Folder in the System Folder.

Two different handwriting styles are included in the SchoolHouse Fonts Sampler
Zaner-Bloser® style fonts:
"SchoolHouse Cursive A" is a dotted cursive-letter (non-connected) font with guidelines.
"SchoolHouse Printed A" is a printed-letter font with guidelines.
D’Nealian® style fonts:
"SchoolHouse Cursive B" is a cursive-letter (non-connected) font with guide arrows.
"SchoolHouse Printed B" is a printed-letter font with both guidelines and guide arrows.

Choose fonts right from the Font menu

The fonts included in this sampler may be used by simply choosing them in the font menu and typing the desired text.

Accented characters and non-English symbols

SchoolHouse Fonts include most of the accented characters, and much of the punctuation and symbols common to Western European languages (Spanish, French, German, etc.). The accented characters are accessed in the same manner as they are accessed in regular fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman. See the “SchoolHouse User’s Guide” for the keystrokes needed to access the foreign characters, or view the keystrokes in KeyCaps.

Lined Spaces

Lined spaces in the lined fonts are accessed by typing the "grave accent" key (to the left of the "1" key). The regular space key on the keyboard gives unlined spaces.

Multiplication and division symbols

In these four sample fonts, these characters are accessed by the following keystrokes:
multiplication (x) = opt-0 (zero)
division (÷) = opt-/
