Does anyone know of an all lowercase font with no uppercase letters? I've only founs one, 'twenty-one', surely there must be more. I've searched Adobe, 1001 fonts, and dafont. Usually, I can copy and paste to Word and change there but I am using a program that outputs content ad a png with no overide.

Thanks,

Jim

The search term you might want to use is "unicase." There is a decent number of unicase fonts out there, both free and commercially sold. Some typefaces have expanded OpenType character sets that sometimes include unicase characters. For instance, the default Arial fonts in Windows have a unicase character set.

Most unicase fonts are going to include glyphs that still look like capital letters, but the lowercase looking letters are sized like capital letters. Delius Unicase (Google) is one example of this.

I am not sure if you found an answer to your question, but I found your post when I was trying to figure out how to use lowercase letters in Word Search Construction Kit.

I could not find any answers since it appears not many people use this program. However, when looking through the settings to change other things in my puzzle layout, I stumbled upon a lowercase option. Maybe this will help you or someone else?

Of course, I do not know which version you are using. Mine is 4.0. In this version, go to Edit --> Puzzle Layout. Click any of the Puzzle Layouts and click Modify OR Copy any of the puzzle layouts. A new screen will open. Click Objects --> Puzzle --> Properties. In the middle of the screen is a checkbox that says, Lower Case Letters. Tick the box, and click OK. Then go to File --> Save, and when you print your puzzle, it should print with lowercase letters from whatever font you have chosen.

I hope this helps!

It's a strange situation. I am working with a program called 'Word Search Construction Kit'. When the program creates the answer key, it prints in all caps. When I install a lower-case font (unicase) and try to print the answer key with it, it prints blank. Switch back to any other font, it prints all cap. I'll try out some more of the font you mentioned and report back. And a final note, some fonts I have looked at have 20-23 lowercase fonts the other uppercase mixed in for aesthetics. However, with EFL students, characters can’t be mixed and matched.

I'm not familiar at all with the application you described. It does sound very primitive for wanting only to print an all-caps character set. It's easy enough to perform a case change to a text string in Adobe Illustrator or InDesign, making the string all-caps, all-lowercase, title case or sentence case. An app hard-wired to see only uppercase characters might only work predictably with a font that has a very limited character set.
