This page allows you to download EFI's font families that are released under the SIL Open Font License (see http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL). There is no cost or fee to use them. There are no installers - use the built-in method for installing fonts into your operating system.
Geez Handwriting fonts. The fonts below are "No Flag" fonts for beginning handwriting. (A second series adding the flags is possible if someone can convince me that they will use it.) In order to use these fonts properly, you should read and download the insgructions and programs for SIL Abyssinica here: http://www.sil.org/computing/catalog/show_software.asp?id=117 Our Geez fonts are compatible with the SIL Abyssinica font -- that is, if you type in SIL Abyssinica, you can just hange the font to one of our handwriting fonts and now you can make up worksheets. (Please be aware that we at EFI do NOT have the technical competance to teach you how to use the KeyMan keyboard necesary to use our fonts, but SIL's description allowed us to figure it out.)
