This is correct. We are using SVG primarily until the TrueType Font
is perfected.<br>

The FSW is the mathematical name of the sign. The SVG image is
created from the FSW.<br>

The SVG file is created from the FSW. The open source project the
"SignWriting Icon Server" is able to create the SVG from the FSW. <br>
<br>
I just published the first release candidate for the SignWriting
Icon Server. You can grab the source from Github and install your
own, or you can use one of the several existing SignWriting Icon
Servers available online. I would suggest the Wikimedia Labs based
server.<br>
<br>
Github source: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Slevinski/swis">https://github.com/Slevinski/swis</a><br>
<br>
Wikimedai Labs server: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://swis.wmflabs.org">http://swis.wmflabs.org</a><br>
SignBank Server: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/swis">http://signbank.org/swis</a><br>
<br>
Specifically, the "glyphogram.php" script is used to create the SVG.<br>
<font size="-1"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://swis.wmflabs.org/glyphogram.php?font=svg">http://swis.wmflabs.org/glyphogram.php?font=svg</a><font
size="-1">&</font>text=<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span
class="yiv2523346467yui_3_7_2_26_1367783869302_86">M528x546S14c18472x463S14c10503x454S2ea18481x511S2ea08513x501S2fd00494x540</span></font><span
style="font-size:18px;white-space:pre-wrap;"></span><br>
<br>
You can call this script directly or learn to use the SignWriting
Thin Viewer for website in general.<br>
