Part I:
a c d e x
These letters start with one vertical line in the 'e', then two with the 'l', and three vertical lines in the 'r' and 4 in the 'x' when written in lowercase cursive.Part II:
e l r x
BicycleTree said:I actually had to trim the r from the place I got it from on the site so that it no longer had a sharp turn.
BicycleTree said:I don't know what you mean about cursive d and e being too hard to do.
When you print you retrace the d, exactly or inexactly, just as in cursive. Whereas on the printed h you start at the top, like a printed n with a higher stick on the left; you don't start at the bottom and loop up (as in the cursive h).When I write a cursive d, the upright is an open loop, similar to the one on the cursive h. In order to get the straight line shown on the d in the image, I would either have to lift my pencil off the paper an put it back down in just the right place, or retrace the line exactly. When I am writing at a reasonable speed, I am unable to do either of these. But if I could, then I could do the h that way too.
When you write a printed e there is exactly the same consideration.When I write a cursive e, there is a leading tail. In order to write the e as in the image, I would have to make sure that the path of the pencil as it loops back traces over the starting point. Again, when I am writing at a reasonable speed, I am unable to get it exactly right, so there is always either a visible tail, or a gap.

No, it doesn't. The printed v is two straight lines, there is no tail coming off the top right. Yes, that's the only difference.jimmysnyder said:So does the block v. Is there any other difference?
