+<p>
+ Playwrite Việt Nam Guides is a single-weight font designed to harmonize seamlessly with its companion, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+VN">Playwrite Việt Nam</a>. This font includes guideline markers on the baseline, x-height, ascenders, and descenders, providing a visual aid for primary school children. These guides help young learners grasp the proportions of letterforms and assist them in drawing letters with confidence and accuracy.
+</p>
+<p>
+ In Vietnam, an official handwriting model for teaching in primary schools was
+ adopted in 2002. It is called the <em>mẫu chữ thảo tiếng việt</em>, or
+ <em>Vietnamese official cursive script</em>, and has been in use from academic
+ year 2002-03 onwards. Based on this model, students learn to write in both
+ upright and (optionally) sloped cursive letters, without ever being taught
+ print letters. Nevertheless, they do practice drawing the basic strokes that
+ make up letters in preparation. Handwriting education happens between Grades 1
+ to 3, and while students are introduced to writing using a pencil, they
+ graduate to writing with fountain pens while they are still in primary school.

+<h4>Playwrite Việt Nam Guides characteristics</h4>
+
+<p>
+ Guidelines are present in all characters except for those used for letter spacing. To create a versatile font for teachers designing practice sheets that feature guidelines without corresponding letters, the underscore is used as a key character. It replaces the glyph shape with the guidelines and matches the width of the letter space.

+<h4>Family name in font menus</h4>

+ <strong>Playwrite VN Guides</strong>, and features a single Regular weight.

+
+<h3>Playwrite fonts for schools</h3>
+<p>
+ The Playwrite school fonts are based on the findings of Primarium, a
+ groundbreaking educational effort that documents the history and current
+ practice of handwriting models taught to primary school students worldwide.
+ This typographic engine serves teachers, educators, and parents by generating
+ localized libre fonts. These Playwrite fonts are complemented by
+ <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playpen+Sans"> Playpen Sans</a>, an
+ informal and fun typeface designed for annotations, instructions, and student
+ notes – that also includes emojis.
+</p>
+<p>

+ handwriting education in Việt Nam, see

+ writing. Some common applications require these features to be manually
+ activated.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Note: This font family doesn't include Bold or Italic styles, so please avoid
+ applying them in text editors. If you use the common 'B' and 'I' buttons, you
+ will automatically generate low-quality styles.

+ and search for the desired font name, in this case, "Playwrite VN Guides", and click OK.
+ If some text is already selected, the font choice will apply.
+</p>
+<p>
+ <strong>Microsoft Word:</strong> Go to Format in the Menu bar, select Font, and
+ then the Advanced tab. Activate "Contextual Alternates" and "Kerning for fonts
+ below" to apply these settings to all text sizes.
+</p>
+<p>
+ <strong>LibreOffice:</strong> In macOS, to select the different styles, go to
+ Format in the Menu bar, select Character, and use the Typeface menu.
+</p>

+ "World-Ready Layout" from the contextual menu.
