Cool Tools & Curriculum Idea: YourFonts.com

In my district, handwriting has once again become a skill that students must learn.  Kindergarten students begin to learn how to print their letters and numbers on the very first day of school, and 2nd grade students are beginning to write in cursive during 2nd semester.  Children need to see lots of examples of "correctly" written letters, and teachers are always looking for fonts that depict this.  However, I know that teachers struggle finding fonts that are consistent with the line style and stroke of print and cursive handwriting.  This is now over.  Font generator website called YourFonts.com (http://www.yourfonts.com/) gives teachers 7 easy steps to create their own hand writing friendly font for the computer.  Although this is a paid service ($14.95 for a font of 200 characters), I can see that this would be a cost that a school could foot or a group of teachers could share.
