AFTER INSTALLATION:
A program group called "Schoolhouse Fonts" will be placed in the Start menu (Start > Programs > Schoolhouse Fonts).
* Read the "Schoolhouse Fonts Demo ReadMe.pdf" (Start > Programs > Schoolhouse Fonts) for instructions and general information about using Schoolhouse Fonts. There is also information about 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 (18 of the 20 fonts in this collection) may be used by simply choosing them in the Font menu and typing the desired text.
* Use the vLetterWriter Demo 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 vLetterWriter Demo utility to connect the letters. Instructions for use are in the "Schoolhouse Fonts Demo ReadMe.pdf." The demo version of the vLetterWriter works for only 30 days.
