New Font

[Lisa Perez <Lperez59@AOL.COM>]

Fellow Librarians:

Maybe this will help you be a hero to your kindergarten and first grade
teachers.  I had been having a difficult time finding a dashed font that kids
who are learning to print could use to trace over and that teachers could use
when making worksheets.  Some dashed fonts were too stylized to be the shape
that children would use. Today, I finally found one that I like at the Blue
Vinyl Fonts website.  It's a free download.  The URL is
<http://www.reflectdesign.com/bvfonts/fonts8.html>.  The artist has two
fonts--"Print Clearly" and "Print Clearly Dashed".  You have to use the
bigger points of the font for student tracing and perhaps set it on bold, but
it's what I've been looking for.  From what I read at the site, the artist
made this in response to a request from the husband of a kindergarten teacher
and, although it has all the upper and lower case letters and the numbers,
there is a plan to update it to full character soon.  See if you like it.
