Post by: AmyNeub on December 03, 2014, 10:27:19 PM: Someone gave me this link to help with creating guidelines for Spencerian and Copperplate too.

I thought I would share.

I saw the other two links for generators, but didn't see this one. Too many threads. :)

Post by: MeganUnderlined on January 28, 2015, 10:52:30 AM: Are the default entries good for basic Copperplate practice or should I adjust them somehow? When I look at the generated default page it looks really small. I am so new at this, perhaps I should print out different sizes and experiment.
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: Linda Y. on January 28, 2015, 11:01:50 AM: Start at 1/4" x-height. It might feel huge, but it's better to see and work on the small details.

Post by: D B Holtz on April 07, 2016, 08:49:16 AM: Guidelines and other templates are easy to make in Powerpoint. Will these work for you? Let me know if you need different or darker lines.

Quite right. It was first posted on FF by our very own superhero Joi on January 31, 2014.
Thanks Joi.

Glad its not only on my end. This would be so helpful to me. Please fix the link!

Post by: JohnK on August 23, 2016, 07:40:50 PM: The link is great, and it just opened fine for me. Here again is the link I used: http://shipbrook.net/guidelines/
I wonder, it might be working for me because I am using Google Chrome for my browser. The site itself recommends using Chrome or Firefox. I tried the link on another computer using Internet Explorer, and the full link did not open.
Anyway, these are some thoughts that might help, it is really worth the effort to get this link to work.
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: AmyNeub on August 23, 2016, 09:41:16 PM: Sorry guys, I did not create this website. There is a red warning located here on the website

"JavaScript is required. For best results, I strongly recommend using Firefox or Google Chrome. Some functionality is broken under Internet Explorer, Konqueror, Opera Mini, and the default Android Web browser. And don't even bother trying Lynx or Elinks."

Maybe update your Java too. It worked for me in Safari too. Good luck
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: ash0kgiri on August 23, 2016, 09:46:17 PM: Hi @JohnK

I only use Chrome. And i was trying whole day yesterday opening it.
Now its working again. I guess site problem then.

Anyways thanks for the efforts. Appreciate.

Post by: goffchris on July 17, 2017, 11:03:31 AM: Just a beginner here, but could one of you recommend the settings for Spencerian guidelines? These are great links, but the original one seems to make the ascenders and descenders equal to x height. In my Mott workbooks, they look like half the height of x...

Here you can find great guidelines for Spencerian, made by @Martín :

Post by: rubyrose5757 on February 20, 2019, 06:08:42 PM: Hi All ~

I used the link below several times to print out very customized guidelines. It was AWESOME! However, now when I go to the link, it appears it no longer exists - ? - Has anyone else had this same experience? If it's gone, can anyone recommend a guideline generator that was equally awesome, customizable, and easy? OMGosh I hope so!

Thanks for any info you can provide :-)

Post by: KristinT on February 21, 2019, 12:30:04 AM: Hi @rubyrose5757

That was my go-to as well. I went to print some new pages the other day (within a week) and it wasn't working for me either. Hopefully it's just undergoing maintenance or something and it will be back up, but in the meantime there are other options. In another corner of the forum there's a great collection of options:

https://theflourishforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6233.0 (https://theflourishforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6233.0)

The first one is not bad. Mind you I was printing for Copperplate, not Spencerian, but I believe most of them have a wide variety of options. Good luck! Here's hoping Shipbrook will be back on line. This is a good reminder to save the templates you like, I suppose. :/
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: Erica McPhee on February 21, 2019, 08:49:04 AM: Oh no @rubyrose5757 ! I'm so sad! That one was my favorite! :'(

I hope you are right @KristinT and he is just doing maintenance.

Thanks for providing the other link! ;) This is a good one as well: Template Guidelines (https://theflourishforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=260).
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: rubyrose5757 on February 22, 2019, 12:04:28 AM: Kristin and Erica ~ Thanks so much for your empathy :) and your suggestions. If I find any other guideline generator that's comparable, I'll rush right back here to the Forum and share it with everyone. Fingers crossed !
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: joi on March 01, 2019, 11:53:44 AM: IT'S WORKING AGAIN!!!

I was thankful that I downloaded my fav sizes but I use this site a few times a week and a big PHEW that it is back up and working!
Happy March 1st!
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: KristinT on March 01, 2019, 12:31:48 PM: Huzzah! Thanks for the heads-up, @joi ! Time to save every arrangement I think I could ever need...
Title: Re: Calligraphy Guideline Generator
Post by: rubyrose5757 on March 03, 2019, 11:30:56 AM: Hip Hip HOORAY !!!! I had given up, so now I'm totally elated! Agreed: Now is the time to save several guideline arrangements :-)

Thanks for the happy update ;D

Post by: Angelica acosta on September 23, 2019, 12:40:40 PM: I think this guideline generator stopped working long time ago. or do I have it wrong?
