I can't use Helvetica in the font name so the font is named Helve Cursive
instead of Helvetica Cursive.

Helve Cursive is based on Helvetica Cursive from the Script and Cursive
Alphabets by Dan X. Solo. While doing the font I came to know of the
existence of a digitization by Intellecta (Renania) but I thought some
characters weren't done right so I went on with the font. A few days ago
Philippe mentioned Pen Tip from WSI. I had a look and found out that it is
similar to the font as shown in the book and decided to stop further work on
the font. Since the font is almost complete, I decided to come out with the
font and added 3 more characters - asterisk, slash and backslash.

Helve Cursive is a redraw based entirely on the specimen in Solo's book.
Other characters not appearing in the book were made up by me. Any
similarities of the made-up characters to those in Renania and Pen Tip are
not intentional. There was no attempt to copy from the two fonts nor
anything (outlines, metrics, etc) from the two fonts were borrowed or stolen
to create Helve Cursive.

Here's the Google Books scan of Helvetica Cursive from Script and Cursive
Alphabets -- http://postimage.org/image/bb94vhcgf/
