1) The SPML files can be accessed directly in a folder:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/spml">http://signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/spml</a><br>
<br>
2) The SPML files are available from SignPuddle Online on the Export
page:<br>

<pre wrap="">If you're going to create an alternate form, then a simple list of
symbols is ok (I can only trim the font at the symbol level, if a single

<br>
I can include this as a tool under symbol frequency in the
SignWriting Icon Server.<br>

Never mind. I didn't realize how far you've gone. I thought you
were limited to the symbols without 2-dimensional layout. When I
view the page, I see the following...<br>

I know I need the Graphite extension, but I didn't entirely grasp
your accomplishment without the screen capture.<br>
<br>
Later, when you showed your screen capture that included
2-dimensional layout, I understood that you could create the
2-dimensional logograms with Graphite using the standard Unicode
plane 15 characters. Very nice! Outstanding in fact.<br>
