CHECK OUT THE COMPUTER FONTS THAT SHOW SOME OF THE DIFFERENT STYLES OF CURSIVE
Formal Cursive Handwriting FontsWhile not necessarily designed for creating materials to teach cursive handwriting (although some might be), these free and commercial fonts provide examples of some of the different formal cursive handwriting styles. See which ones most closely match how you learned to write. Did you know that you can improve your handwriting using these or other fonts already on your computer? Try this tutorial for computer-based penmanship practice .

• See Spencerian Script Handwriting for several lovely scripts inspired by this 1890s era writing style, both free and commercial fonts. 
• Educational Fontware, Inc. sells fonts designed for teaching many of the styles described above as well as others including Bob Jones University, SSD, and Cursive First. 
• School Script sold at myfonts.com comes in regular, bold, dashed, and lined (like school paper) versions.
  
  
• Handwriting Fonts at Fontspace are free fonts. You can see the Spencerian and Palmer legacy in many of these scripts. 
• Learning Curve 2.0 is a free font from Blue Vinyl that resembles old-style Zaner-Bloser. 
• LA EI 2, a shareware font, is probably a style of cursive from Germany or somewhere else in Europe.
