LINE-INFO: Script Font

Here is the final version of my script font.  I had previously
posted the lowercase letters and part of the uppercase letters.

For ease of use, I have regrouped all the uppercase letters
together and divided the lowercase letters into two groups:  one
contains the regular letters and the other contains the letters
that would follow 'b', 'o', 'v' or 'w'.  I have also included a
"space" after the 'z'.  It may never be used for screen words but
could be handy for printed material.

Also note that since FIGLET cannot handle such a font because of
the two sets of lowercase letters, you will have to create your
words by hand.  This is relatively easy when your word processor
has a block copy function.  Nonetheless, in order to simplify the
process as much as possible I have included horizontal and vertical
guidelines.

When you copy a letter from this font take along with it the two
horizontal guidelines (top and bottom) while excluding the vertical
guidelines.  Then, to connect letters together just keep connecting
the top guidelines.  The letters will align automatically.

At times, you will have to delete a portion of the area between two
letters in order for them to connect properly (manual kerning).  In
other cases you may have to add an '8' to fill the gap between the
two letters.  In any case, always leave a minimum of two spaces
between the letters (except where they actually touch).  This
appears to give the best results.

Feel free to experiment with it and send me your comments if you
have any.  Have fun.
