SMART Notebook 17.1 - Cursive Writing Fonts

[FlowerManDan]

Hello,

 

I am looking for a working cursive writing font that will join up in SMART Notebook 17.1.

 

The school I support uses LetterJoin, which works on SMART Notebook 11.4 but will not join up in 17.1.

 

I've contacted SMART and they said that they don't support the font. LetterJoin say that they keep asking SMART to support it, SMART say they will in the next update but then they don't add the support for it in said update.

 

Is anyone out there using a cursive writing font that works in SMART Notebook 17.1?

This might do the trick:

 

Link 1: Transform your handwriting and calligraphy into fully functional vector fonts with our web application. Creating your own font has never been easier

 

This replaces MyScriptFont.COM, posted here:

Thanks for your reply. Can you confirm if the fonts you create using the websites you suggested join up in SMART Notebook 17.1?

I couldn't comment on that one way or the other. I had expected that it would be possible to import the new font the way you would on other Windows devices.

Quick update on this, I have a contact at SMART which I have asked about this issue. He got back to me with the following:

 

We are looking at support for Letter Join but no dates have been confirmed as of yet.

We don’t keep a specific list of fonts that we would claim to officially support.

However, I find on my Windows 10 computer the following fonts that have joined cursive writing and seem to work fine in Notebook:

 

• Kunstler Script
  
• Mistral
  
• Palace Script MT
  
• Rage Italic (not all letters joined as well as other fonts above)
  
• Vladimir Script (not all letters joined as well as other fonts above)
  

Still waiting on feedback regarding LetterJoin.

 

its not looking good...

Letter-join have now created a font, Letter-join Basic, designed for Smart Notebook users.

Designed for schools wishing to use Letter-join fonts in Smart Notebook, Letter-join Basic is based on our most popular Letter-join Plus font. The two fonts are almost indistinguishable but Letter-join Basic does not have lead-out lines on the letters o, r, v and w. Letter-join Basic will download with your school’s preferred letterforms.

 

Please log in to the Admin page of a Letter-join School subscription to download the new font.
