Guest Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Does anyone know of a font that produces a real number 4 not like this one!! Please
Guest Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 sassoon primary type is slightly better, a little more open. it's the closest I can get anyway
Susan Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 There is a font called boring boring which produces an open 4. Find it here!
Marion Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 the boring boring font is much more open than the sassoon and a better match to how we teach children to write a 4
Jackie A. Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 I like boring boring as it uses a correct 4 and 9, and is the only font that I have found that does a number 1 as a straight line and not with the little flick which children often confuse with 7. I therefore use it for all my number lines, but always use it in bold as it does tend to be very thin (if you know what I mean). Jackie
Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks for the link, Susan. I will try it out later (especially in the light of the positive reviews from Marion and Jackie)
Guest Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 has anyone used National Primary... it doesn't have an open 4 but it matches all our other letter perfectly... even our stupid closed 'k'! and I have a copy of it just dotted for children to practice tracing over... how cool?
Guest Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Hi Paul. I sometimes use National Primary but find that you have to enlarge it quite a lot for the children to be able to read it easily! They also do a 'joined up' version. Have you seen that?
Guest Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Can somebody please tell me how to download this font? I can't get it to work.
Guest Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Can somebody please tell me how to download this font? I can't get it to work. I couldn't get it to work from this site so got it by typing boring boring font into google and saving it to my desktop. My son then showed me how to copy it into fonts in the control panel. We couldn't copy the folder as it was a zip one, so he opened it and copied the two contents together. Does this make sense?????
Susan Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 You need to click on the words boring boring and you will get a message box asking you what you wnat to do. Proceede from there!
Guest Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Lucida Handwriting gives you the "proper" No.4, it is also a good one to use for Cursive script. Hope this is of some help.
