It is a pretty sign, like art!</div><div><br></div><div>And thank you for accepting my comments, I appreciate your openness and interest in writing so that we all can read the signs.</div><div><br></div><div>First, I can see that perhaps you are using old software to write signs? Maybe you are using SW-Edit or SignWriter DOS?</div><div><br></div><div>SW-Edit is an excellent program developed in Brazil, by Dr. Antonio Carlos da Rocha Costa and <font><font>Rafael Piccin Torchelsen.</font></font></div><div><font><font><br></font></font></div><div><font><font>SW-Edit</font></font></div><div><font><font><a href="http://www.signwriting.org/forums/software/archive/softarc11.html">http://www.signwriting.org/forums/software/archive/softarc11.html</a></font></font></div><div><font><font><br></font></font></div><div><font><font>I would be happy to help the developers update SW-Edit, if they have the time. Or perhaps someone else can help to update the software. The problem is that SW-Edit has not been updated since the International SignWriting Alphabet was developed, so this means that you are using out-of-date symbols in SW-Edit. You are not using the ISWA 2010, when you use SW-Edit. The same with SignWriter DOS. It is out-of-date too.</font></font></div><div><font><font><br></font></font></div><div><font><font>Can you use SignPuddle Online for Brazil? That would be better, so you are using the same symbols as the rest of the world.</font></font></div><div><font><font><br></font></font></div><div><font><font>SignPuddle for Brazil</font></font></div><div><font><font><a href="http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/index3.html#sgn-BR">http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/index3.html#sgn-BR</a></font></font></div><div><font><font><br></font></font></div><div><font><font>So the first thing I want to explain is that the symbols have changed for Circles. The dotted circles do not exist any longer. They look like this instead. They are double-stemmed:</font></font></div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
