Font - Alphabet with directional arrows

[pangeh]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is in the correct category so apologies in advance if it is.

I have been searching for some time for a font that can be used to put together letters and words for examples to help children learn how to write.

I need letters with and without arrows pointing in the direction of how to write the letter. This font will be used for creating worksheets for letters and words. I need to be also able to change the colour of the font to really light gray so that children can also trace the letters.

I found alot of commercial software but was looking something thats free and can be used by a tuition company/tutor to print materials for their students without any license restrictions.

In a worst case I can blow up individual letters in open office and manually draw the arrows but would be great if a font exists that can be used as would give great scope in future projects.

Thanks in advance for your help.

regards
P.

Maybe something like this? (http://www.fonts2u.com/life-lessons.font)

Hi An Sanct,

Thats exactly along the lines of what I need. This ling will definitely be of use.

However I need the font in normal text, something like Times new roman in ms word, with the arrows not not slanted and without the horizontal lines. So I need the tails on the lowercase, not straight like the ariel font in ms word.

I'm searching the web for a bit longer and then going to use normal text and manually add the arrows in in open office draw or something in the worst case scenario.

Thanks for help

Forgive my ignorance on this issue. After reading further on this matter I realise that all I need is a tru type font for what I need.

In this case the Dnelian manuscipt fonts were suited to this issue. I downloaded the fonts from the internet.

For reference this is a really helpful site:

This was more a query to do with fonts instead of ubuntu itself. However I believe it would be highly beneficial to include this font set with Edubuntu as they are excellent as a learning aid in teaching young children how to write.
