The Short Stack font seems to suit most of my purposes. (although the
letter J does not have the horizontal stroke)
Tim, you are my hero. I found it by googling "educational font".
For those who are looking for a regular font for kids to copy and
learn, have a look. Thanks, Tim. :)

Way back in the dim and distant past, when all computers only did bitmap
fonts, I'd created my own fonts quite a few time. Mind you, this was at
dot matrix printer resolutions, so it wasn't too hard to do. And it was
how I learnt to convert between binary and hex, in my head, from all the
font programming.

I know what you mean. I find the same problems with most fonts, and
mostly want what you wanted in the font design. And, as I said before,
look at some programmer's fonts. They have I that you can easily tell
apart from l, t versus f, etc. You might have to look around a bit to
find one that doesn't give a slashed computer zero, though.
Alternatively, have you tried just searching for educational font? Just
type it into google, and have a look. There'll be a free one,
somewhere.
