We are using WP7 for an instruction booklet. It includes a "fill in the
blanks" set up sheet with cells for the appropriate number of characters
etc. We would also like to include a filled in sample but can't find an
appropriate (handwriting/handprinting/architectural) monospaced font.
This would seem to be a standard application. We have WP diskettes/CDs
(including the CD with 1000 fonts) from WP5.0 thru 11. Is there a
suitable WP/Corel font somewhere that we've overlooked?

Thanks...

If you are willing to accept a proportional font, "Technical-Normal" would
be a good choice. "QuillScript-Normal" is another choice.

The reason for wanting a monospaced font is that the set up form has a
fixed space lined grid 13 columns x 42 rows to assist the user in
defining parameters with a max of 13 characters, spaces, and punctuation
marks. The max length is the same for all, but some have requirements in
addition to length. The intent is to "fill-in" a sample set up sheet to
demonstrate those differences, if necessary modifying the pitch of the
vertical lines to mesh with a fixed pitch font. We've seen examples of
"handwriting" on application forms but have not been able to find a
suitable font. It's a one time requirement so, if we can't find a font,
we'll do a manual fill-in and shoot it for offset.

Thanks again...
