Heard of WordStar but my first version of a word processor was Word 2.0 in
DOS. I was already well past the age of majority. ;-)

Even if she's so young a squirrel that she never heard of WordStar --
I think it came with my first DOS computer. (My first computer was a
Keypro 4/84, which came with PerfectWriter -- which could actually do
a few things that no modern word processor can.)

An especially useful suggestion if the child is learning a non-roman
alphabet (as FQ's name suggests is possible), where such resources may
not be available.

Try using a simple font, like Arial, make the letters 72 pts (or
larger),
and then change them from black to a light color (for example, grey,
pink,
yellow, light blue). Your child could trace the letter just as easily as
if
it was dotted. :-)

I am looking forward to have my child start writing and learn some
letters.
Is it possible to have some fonts, being enlarged ant written in
dotted
format so as to allow my son to trace such lines and learn writing?
