Prices: The cost for a School Site License is $60 per font set. For families and teachers an Individual License is $30 (GST not applicable, see notes below). This price includes handling and postage. We prefer not to email fonts because of our slow internet speeds and the difficulties sending fonts as zipped attachments. If you are ordering from overseas, note that all prices are in Australian dollars.
Fonts are supplied on a CD. If you are ordering multiple fonts sets, for example Maths and NSW fonts sets, and want each set burnt onto a separate CD then please add $10 for each additional CD.. See the Order Form for more details. If you are happy with our fonts please tell your friends and colleagues, but please be honest and ask them to contact us if they want a copy.

For further information about why these fonts were created in the first place, you may be interested to read our history page. Or you may like to know what happens to the money earned from font sales.
All handwriting fonts contain lines to guide beginning writers, sometimes these lines are called 'dotted thirds'. You can choose the type of lines you want for your text. To type a text with lines you need to first create a page of lines by repeatedly typing one of the 'lined' characters. You then create a text box and type your text over the lines.
We received an email from Matthew with an attached zip file of "dotted thirds" as watermarks. You can read what Matthew said, and download this file if you like. Then Jeni emailed us to say, "I'm interested in being able to type words and have the box shape come up for children to recognize the shape of the word." Jeni's suggestion was followed a couple of days later with a new font called "Letter Boxes". Thanks Jeni.School Fonts is not, and cannot legally be registered for GST with the Australian Tax Office because we have a small annual income, therefore GST is not payable when you purchase these fonts.
