Due to the huge amount of support from the Calligraphy Community I have decided to make and add a few files in order to give back something. These files are for personal use only and may not be used for reproduction or commercial use without written permission from myself. Thank You All!

FOR ALL GUIDELINES MAKE SURE SCALING IS TURNED OFF IN YOUR PRINT SETTINGS!! IT IS BEST TO PRINT FROM A SYSTEM DIALOG!
