The QLD Cursive GT Pro font is a “combo” font, providing access to the Beginner, Pre-Cursive and Cursive styles all within a single font file without the need to change fonts in the application’s font menu. The font also includes two extensions of the Queensland Modern Cursive style, allowing looped letterforms for g h j k l y z, in addition to the looped f which is already permitted in the basic Queensland Modern Cursive. All you need to do is select the joining level you want (see the Manual's Quick Start Guide) and start typing! The QLD Cursive GT Pro font does not require the use of any external utility or application to create the cursive joins between letters – the joining is completely automatic, occurring in real time as letters are typed.
Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (up to and including CC) do not support Stylistic Sets.

Note that the current versions of Word and Publisher only support the use of one Stylistic Set at a time providing basic joining functionality but limiting the full capabilities of the font. At present, the list of such applications is limited mainly to Microsoft Word and Publisher (2010/2011 & later), Apple Pages (v5.6 & later), Adobe InDesign, Quark XPress (2016 & later), CorelDRAW (X6 & later), Sketch and TextEdit. The QLD Cursive GT Pro font is a sophisticated OpenType font that will only function to its full potential in applications which are OpenType-aware and which recognize special OpenType features called Stylistic Sets. There are no Thick, Outlined, Dotted or Directional Arrow versions in the QLD Cursive GT Pro font. Also, the lighter weight allows the cursive joins to be displayed more accurately and clearly. The QLD Cursive GT Pro font is supplied in one weight which is slightly thinner than the stand-alone QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT-Regular, QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT-Regular and QLD PreCursive GT-Regular fonts to reflect the fact that, by the time the student begins cursive writing, they will be probably be using more refined writing implements such as ball-point pens etc. The automatically-joining fully cursive font QLD Cursive GT Pro is available as a separate package with its own Manual.
When fully joined, PreCursive becomes the Queensland Modern Cursive style. The QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts (Regular, Thick and OutIined) and the QLD Flourished GT (Regular, Arrow) fonts are also available but are not included in the QLD Beginner GT Pack.

These 10 fonts plus PDF Manual comprises the QLD Beginner GT Pack. The QLD PreCursive GT fonts are each available as Regular, Thick and OutIined. The QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT fonts are available as Regular (with and without directional arrows), OutIined (with and without directional arrows), Dotted (with and without directional arrows) and Thick. The Thick weight is approximately 170% of the Regular weight as per common typographic practice. The weight of the Regular fonts is intended to match the average pen thickness of the illustrations in the various Queensland Department of Education publications above. The QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT and QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts contain the d with a tail as the default lettershape but they also contain the alternate d with no tail as an option. The stated reason for this is to prevent the student, who is new to writing & reading, from confusing d with b (being mirror-images of each other) and also from confusing d with a (differing only in the length of their vertical stem).
Queensland and Tasmania share a convention regarding the drawing of the lowercase “d” that is different to other regions – the “d” is drawn with an exit tail whereas the similarly-shaped “a” is not. In the transitional QLD PreCursive GT font (based on the Yr 1-3 letterforms) the letters are unjoined but they have cursive exits and entries which the writer needs to master as they move towards fully joined writing. In the QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT and QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts, the letters are unjoined. QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT is an evolved form of QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT and has more rounded, flowing and “natural” lettershapes. The QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT fonts are based on Year 1-3 Queensland Department of Education handwriting resources chiefly Alphabet Pack Year 1 (PR114), Letter book Year 2 (PR115) and Handwriting Pack Year 3 (PR121), published by the Open Access Unit, 1997.* The QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts are based on The Teaching of Handwriting in Years 4-7: A Handbook published by Queensland Department of Education, Curriculum Development Services, 1984, Reprinted 1990 (I4108 6). The Queensland fonts are designed in strict accordance with the current Queensland Modern Cursive style (also known as QCursive) as specified in various resource materials published by the Queensland Department of Education.
