    There was a package of fonts being offered by Xara for a time.

    www.DaFont.com has a large selection of handwritten fonts http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=603 Most are free, some ask for a donation, and a few have use restrictions.

    There are also some nice handwritten fonts at Fontsquirrel.com And the nice thing about these is that they are all free for commercial use and they provide the license information right there for easily checking to make sure it is suitable for the use you have in mind before downloading. If you are using either Designer Pro X or Web Designer MX premium Font Squirrel fonts are embeddable in your website designs.

    The 20 handwriting fonts were a special giveaway from SoftMaker and Xara and they were available for a limited time for those that had purchased Xara software. While Gare I'm pretty sure participated in the discussion that we had here at TG about the fonts, the fonts were never posted here at TG. The offer was distributed by e-mail.

    If you downloaded the fonts from the link in the e-mail that Xara sent out you should be able to unzip the fonts and install them in your windows font file. You can't install them through Xara's font Gallery.

    What she said. However you will be just as well off downloading the free ones you like from http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/list/style/Handdrawn or http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=603

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
