FAQ

This page collects common questions about worksheet generation, printing, fonts, stroke order and input content. If display or printing looks wrong before or after generating a worksheet, check the notes below first.

Why does the printed worksheet layout look messy?

Use Chrome or Microsoft Edge and enable background graphics or background colors in the print settings. Most worksheet grid lines are background graphics, so disabling background printing can make lines disappear or show the wrong color.

Can I save the generated worksheet as a file?

Yes. Open the generated print page and choose Save as PDF in the browser print window.

Why does it still show KaiTi after I set a custom font?

The custom font must already be installed on the current computer, and the name you enter must exactly match the system font name. If you are not sure, check it in Word or your system font list first.

What happens if I enter spaces, punctuation, English letters or numbers?

Single-character, name and stroke-order worksheets keep supported Chinese characters and ignore spaces, English letters, numbers and some punctuation. Article, poem and mixed pinyin tools try to keep Chinese punctuation suitable for layout and clean the input on the preview page.

What if a character is missing from the stroke-order database?

The stroke-order database supports most common Chinese characters. If a character is missing, the preview will try to show normal text or an empty practice grid. You can also send the missing character to 8@an2.net, and it may be added later.

Why is the generated stroke order different from my textbook?

Glyph standards may differ by region. Tools that support stroke order can switch among Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan standards. Choose the one that matches your local textbook.

What is the difference between textbook style, red, green and black?

These options mainly affect Tian Zi Ge grids, four-line pinyin guides and tracing text colors. Textbook style uses blue-green grid lines closer to school handwriting paper and is suitable for lower-grade printed practice.
