    Looking for dotted line fonts

    Does anyone have, or know where to find, a dotted line font? It would be used to help my granddaughter learn her letters by tracing them.
    Thanks.

    If you can't find one, choose your favorite font, trace it using "middle" option, then change line style to dashed.

    I used to have one several years ago I used with my kids... that was a couple computers ago... but do a search at Dafont for

    Maternellecolor Trace Cursive

    and

    Life Lessons

    Those aren't the ones I used, but maybe it will help.

    Interesting thought for project using colored 1/8" acrylic... been done, just a variation...

    Reverse laser engrave the tracing letters on a shape (e.g., A and a on the back of an Apple using red acrylic) and just use a wipe-off marker.

    Could even make a puzzle using the various shapes to make it tidy.

    That is a good idea Mike. My daughter asked me to print (sublimation) the trace letters on dry erase clipboard material so her daughter can use a grease pencil to trace the letters. She figures a grease pencil is less likely to cause collateral damage than a dry erase marker :-)
