etc.

after the D'Nealian® (D'N) style of handwriting. Set B demo fonts
are named "DMOBprint", DMOBcursive", etc.
INSTALLATION
The downloaded file is a
self-extracting package, containing all the files needed for
installation. It should automatically expand after downloading if you
have Stuffit Expander on your Mac.
FIRST:
Double-click the folder "DN (or ZB) demo" that is created; then
double-click the folder "Fonts".
THEN:
Install the SchoolHouse Fonts and the Sigsoft Handwriter
Utility:
- 1. Copy the font suitcases of
the fonts you wish to use into the Fonts Folder in the System
Folder.
- 2. Copy the SigSoft Handwriter
utility into a folder you create on your hard drive called
"Signature Software". Also copy the two help files "SigSoft
Handwriter Help" and "SchoolHouse User's Guide" into the same
Signature Software folder.
- 3. If you please, create an
alias for the SigSoft Handwriter in your Apple Menu. This makes it
convenient for starting the SigSoft Handwriter when you want to
connect letters in the two connected-cursive fonts in each
set.
AFTER INSTALLATION:
- Read the "Read Me First"
file in the "DN (or ZB) demo" folder for instructions and general
information about using SchoolHouse Fonts. There is also
information about installing and deinstalling individual fonts,
connecting the letters in the connected-cursive fonts, and
accessing special characters such as lined spaces and accented
characters.
- Choose printed and
non-connected cursive fonts right from the Font menu. All
fonts that don't have the word "Connect" in their names (16 of the
18 fonts in this collection) may be used by simply choosing them
in the font menu and typing the desired text.
- Use the SigSoft Handwriter
Utility to connect letters in connected-cursive fonts. The two
connected-cursive fonts in this set, fonts with the word "Connect"
in their name (e.g. "DMOBConnect..."), require the use of the
SigSoft Handwriter utility to connect the letters. Instructions
for use of the SigSoft Handwriter are in the onscreen SchoolHouse
User's Guide in the "DN (or ZB) demo" folder. See an online
animation of the Sigsoft Handwriter at http://www.vletter.com/support.htm#sshandwriter.
- You will find visual samples of
all the fonts, and instructions for their use in the onscreen
SchoolHouse User's Guide in the "DN (or ZB) demo"
folder.
