On the Web! Great Free Cursive Fonts For Microsoft Word
Just What Are Cursive Fonts?
When you take a look at the fonts that are already loaded on your computer in Microsoft Word, you’ll see a huge variety of sizes, shapes, styles, and more. From fonts that look handwritten to those that are nothing more than symbols, you should be able to find one that will fit any job you have. The cursive fonts are those that have connected letters in at least half of the word you type. For example, in the word “letter”, a cursive font will attach all of the letters together so that they appear to be in one continuous stroke, just like handwritten cursive.
In the most recent versions of Microsoft Word, there are already some great cursive fonts that are loaded into the program: Blackadder ITC, Edwardian Script ITC, French Script MT, Mistral, Quigley Wiggly, Script, and Vivaldi. The problem with some of the cursive fonts that you’ll find loaded into the program is that they are extremely small or the letters are really close together. So, if you are using them for normal sized lettering (such as 12 pt font), then you may have trouble reading it. But, if you are using it for larger font sizes, then these can work great. You simply need to try them out to see which one will work the best for what you need.
