As I promised in Montreal, I am trying to make available the materials I passed out (and ran out of) at my SignFont workshop at TISLR '96. These pages can be viewed properly only with a SignFont TrueType font. Alas, I am still working on developing a Macintosh SignFont font.

The original Microsoft Word for Windows documents are also available below, with the TrueType fonts embedded.
