PREAMBLE
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide
development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation
efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and
open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership

redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The
fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

<p>
Playwrite Ireland Guides is a single-weight font designed to harmonize seamlessly with its companion, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+IE">Playwrite Ireland</a>. This font includes guideline markers on the baseline, x-height, ascenders, and descenders, providing a visual aid for primary school children. These guides help young learners grasp the proportions of letterforms and assist them in drawing letters with confidence and accuracy.
</p>
<p>
The NCAA publishes the national curriculum, and issues of language are dealt
with in the <em>“Primary Language Curriculum”</em>, which was last published in
2019. This document is fully bilingual in English and Irish Gaelic. An
additional guideline document for teachers called
<em>”Primary Language Curriculum. Support Material for teachers. Writing”</em>,
is also published by the NCAA. This devotes a full section to handwriting and
suggests that children can be introduced to cursive writing as early as the
junior infant level.
</p>
<p>
In practice, however, each school can choose its own methods for teaching
handwriting. Most teachers start with either print script (locally called
“manuscript”) or precursive letters in junior and senior infant levels. From
Class 1 onwards, students are taught to add exit strokes to letters and then
connect them to achieve a cursive hand.

<h4>Playwrite Ireland characteristics</h4>

<p>
Guidelines are present in all characters except for those used for letter spacing. To create a versatile font for teachers designing practice sheets that feature guidelines without corresponding letters, the underscore is used as a key character. It replaces the glyph shape with the guidelines and matches the width of the letter space.

<h4>Family name in font menus</h4>
<p>
Playwrite Ireland appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘IE’,
<strong>Playwrite IE Guides</strong>, and features a single Regular weight.

The download .zip file includes the static font for this guided version.

<h3>Playwrite fonts for schools</h3>
<p>
The Playwrite school fonts are based on the findings of Primarium, a
groundbreaking educational effort that documents the history and current
practice of handwriting models taught to primary school students worldwide.
This typographic engine serves teachers, educators, and parents by generating
localized libre fonts. These Playwrite fonts are complemented by
<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playpen+Sans"> Playpen Sans</a>, an
informal and fun typeface designed for annotations, instructions, and student
notes – that also includes emojis.
</p>
<p>
For more information about the Primarium project, visit
<a href="https://primarium.info/">primarium.info</a> and to learn more about
handwriting education in Ireland, see

<h4>How to install the fonts?</h4>

<p>
<strong>Windows:</strong> Download the font file to your computer. Navigate to
where you saved the font file and double-click it to open. Click the "Install"
button at the top of the font preview window. The font is now installed and
ready to be used across your apps.
</p>
<p>
<strong>macOS:</strong> After downloading the font file to your Mac,
right-click it in Finder and select "Open With" > "Font Book". Then, click
"Install Font" in the font preview window that pops up. The font is now
installed and ready to be used across your apps.
</p>

<h4>How to use the fonts in apps?</h4>

<p>
The Playwrite font family uses complex OpenType features to generate connected
writing. Some common applications require these features to be manually
activated.
</p>
<p>
Note: This font family doesn't include Bold or Italic styles, so please avoid
applying them in text editors. If you use the common 'B' and 'I' buttons, you
will automatically generate low-quality styles.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Google Docs and Slides:</strong> From the font selector drop-down, go to "More Fonts"
and search for the desired font name, in this case, "Playwrite IE Guides", and click OK.
If some text is already selected, the font choice will apply.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Microsoft Word:</strong> Go to Format in the Menu bar, select Font, and
then the Advanced tab. Activate "Contextual Alternates" and "Kerning for fonts
below" to apply these settings to all text sizes.
</p>
<p>
<strong>LibreOffice:</strong> In macOS, to select the different styles, go to
Format in the Menu bar, select Character, and use the Typeface menu.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Adobe InDesign:</strong> Open the Paragraph Panel and select Adobe
"World-Ready Paragraph Composer" from the contextual menu.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Adobe Illustrator:</strong> Navigate to Preferences > Type, check the
"Show Indic Options" box, and close preferences. Then open the Paragraph Panel
and select "Middle Eastern Composer" from the contextual menu.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Adobe Photoshop:</strong> Access the Paragraph Panel, then choose
"World-Ready Layout" from the contextual menu.
</p>
