Our own code

The tools and page layouts are written for this site. The pages make no requests to other servers.

The print letters children trace (the single-stroke “ball-and-stick” school print on every worksheet) are drawn by our own code, and the PDF writer is our own as well.

Our dotted fonts

The downloadable fonts TracingPDF Dots and TracingPDF Dots Lined (on the dot dot font page) are made by us from the same letter shapes and are released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (copyright SKYSEED TECH LLC): you may use them at home, at school and in printed or sold worksheets, and share the files; the font files may not be sold on their own. Licence text: /fonts/LICENSE-TracingPDF-Dots.txt.
