Q:How do you install the fonts onto your computer?

There click on fonts. Downsize this window as well. Then simply click and drag the font into your "font file". It will automatically show up when you type on Word or whatever.

Note: to connect the cursive letters together into words, simply go into (windows/word) format,then font, click onto character spacing. In the spacing option, click on condenced and then click on "by:" to slide the letters closer together.

Happy Writing!

I truly appreciate your site. I have been wanting to make customized sheets for my 5-year-old with her name and other words pertaining to her. Up til now, I have made my own handprinted sheets of dashed words, which was time consuming. But now I am excited to be able to easily print them out. Thanks a million.
