-	The style of handwriting currently taught in New Zealand is specified in
-	<em>Teaching Handwriting</em>, a Ministry of Education publication, which was developed
-	in response to teachers’ requests for guidance on the style of handwriting that
-	should be taught in primary school. Teachers and schools usually create their
-	own resources for handwriting instruction based on the style advocated in this
-	document. It was first released in 1985 and again in digital format in 2008.
-	Even though <em>Teaching Handwriting</em> outlines a progressive handwriting system that
-	advances from simplified print script to cursive writing, sometimes teachers
-	will not teach the latter if it is not practical given their students' learning
-	levels and other curriculum needs.

To create a versatile tool for teachers when designing practice sheets that feature guidelines without corresponding letters, the underscore is used as a key character. In Playwrite Guides fonts the underscore prints only the guidelines, and matches the width of the normal word space.
