Hi

I have to design a book for children.  The only problem is the fonts i have and can find all have the letter "a" as this and not as a child would write it for example a circle with a stick on.  Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look for a free font?

Comis sans ms is a font that has the normal a!  Do you not have this in your word?  Don't know where you get free fonts from though - sorry!

Good luck

If you are talking about Windows/computers, then I'd suggest Comic Sans MS - otherwise, if it is to be printed by printers, then you can specify whichever print/font you want!

Snap!!! :D

fantastic   Thanks for your help everyone xxx

you were more thorough than me - as always!

I use Comic Sans MS for all my stuff.  Must be my simple childlike mind that drew me to it!! :D

i always use comic sans, i find it easier to read when going over work than the other fonts, the simple a explains it all :D

try 'kidprint' - very clear and looks just like kids writing - I use it at school for labels and notices etc.

Must be something going on here I too prefer to use comic sanscript ;-)

Or Trebuchet.  You need a sans serif font.  Good for anyone with dyslexia too, remembering that takes into acount more than one in ten of the population.

Avantgarde
Bauhaus
Futura - lots of slightly different choices there :)

If you're working in MS Word  otherwise the printer will have zillions of typefaces that are suitable
