for letter and word shapes.

etc. Includes punctuation and European accents.
Can be formatted like any other font.
Boxes Fonts install into your windows font file and appear
with the rest of the fonts on your drop-down font menu.
Boxes can be used with any package that accesses the font file.

Box letter shapes, as
illustrated above and used in the Crossbow BOX DICTATIONS and SIGHTWORD SPELLING

dyslexia) to map phonemes onto graphemes.
