Where can I find the code to use or buy D'nealian fonts for teaching letters to kids?

I am so close to finishing the design of a website for early learners and urgently need a set of fonts known as D'nealian fonts. They have lines, arrows, dots, and starting points to help kids learn the correct formation of D'nealian style letters. Can anyone help?

Have you tried googling for them?

Unless I've missed something, just searching for "D'nealian font" brought up a range of sites providing them - free and paid-for.

Thanks so much for the quick reply James! Yes. I did google first, but was hoping there would be more resource recommendations offered here at Treehouse. Thanks again!

Jami Schwarzwalder seems to have a better handle on it than I do, but one of the sites listed - fonts4teachers - was one of the ones I came across.

I"ve always been a fan of daFonts.

They have a school category that might be useful: http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=602

Fonts for Teachers has D'nealian for sale: http://www.fonts4teachers.com/

Open Dyslexic is a good font for beginning readers. http://opendyslexic.org/

Thanks! All three links are extremely useful!!
