How to Use Word's Cursive, Script, or Handwriting Fonts Word offers a variety of cursive and handwriting fonts (or fonts, which is a more accurate name for different font styles) that are actually controlled by the operating system rather than Provided by Office version. For this story, we will discuss the cursive and handwriting fonts available in Windows 10. Windows 10 currently features twenty cursive (or "script" fonts), two handwriting fonts, three Blackletter fonts, a Greco-Roman font, and a Curly or Fancy font. Fonts are usually divided into several categories. For example, "script" and "handwritten" fonts are also classified as "calligraphic", "fancy" and "decorative". Blackletter font is also known as Old English and Medieval; and a cross of Greco-Roman fonts with Roman, serif, and Gothic fonts. (Windows limits its categories to Text, Informal, Display, and Symbols). (Get creative? You can make your own fonts in Windows 10, too!) You can view the current list of Windows 10 fonts (along with information about which products support them) on the Microsoft website, although it neither shows nor tells Which of your fonts are cursive. To perform a visual search, it's best to open Word and click on the drop-down list of font names in the "Fonts" section of the ribbon menu. Scroll down to see the fonts, each font's name is written in its own letter. You can also enter the font name at the top of the drop-down menu to go directly to the font name you're interested in. Current Windows 10 script fonts include BrushScriptMT, EdwardianScriptITC, FreestyleScript, FrenchScriptMT, Gigi, HarlowSolidItalic, KunstlerScript, LucidaCalligraphy, LucidaHandwriting, Magneto, MaturaMTScriptCapitals, Mistral, MonotypeCorsiva, PalaceScriptMT, Pristina, RageItalic, ScriptMTBold, SegoeScript, Vivaldi and Vladimir script. Handwriting fonts include BradleyHandITC and VinerHandITC. The Blackletter group includes Parchment, OldEnglishTextMT and BlackadderITC. Finally, Greco-Roman and Curly/Fancy are the unofficial Romans and CurlzMT respectively. If you are using a different version of Windows or just want to see the fonts/fonts available on your system, open the Fonts folder and see the list. 1. On the desktop, select the C: drive, then find the Windows folder and select (single or double-click) Windows Fonts. 2. Use the mouse to shrink the window from the bottom up so that the image of the selected font appears at the bottom of the window. Move your cursor down the list to view a specific font. If Windows 10 fonts don't suit your needs, you have many other options - thousands of fonts downloaded from dozens of font websites. Hundreds of these sites are free and available with a simple Google search. Downloading is simple and hassle-free. Here's how to get started. 1.
