<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<br>
I should be able to handle Ä, Ö, Ü and the ß. A slight change to support
unicode will be needed. <br>
<br>
For the "ss" and the "sch", are these always changed?
If so, I can support these as well.<br>
<br>
Each fingerspelling alphabet is defined with a substitution list in a
relatively easy to create config file. Currently, this is all or nothing.
If I create a stepped approach, the first step would replace "ss" and
"sch" and maybe other unicode strings. The second step would
replace the rest. This model should work for other sign languages as
well. <br>
<br>
FingerSpeller currently supports the ASL Dicitonary fingerspelling. The config
file is complete and installed.<br>
<a href="http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/sgn/4.fngr">http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/sgn/4.fngr</a><br>
<br>
I used Adam's work for the ASL dictionary. He labeled his with
"Fingerspelling" in the text.<br>

<br>
<br>
I will be adding the ASL Bible Dictionary fingerspelling next. Thanks
Nancy for creating and labeling your entries:<br>

<br>
<br>
Thanks Stefan for the SignMail. The SignText Options link included the
data I needed to create this. The German Sign Language config file is
nearly ready.<br>
Some manual adjustments for center-alignment and the config file is ready.<br>

<br>
Charles, I will get to the Libras fingerspelling as well. If you can mark the
entries with special text or send SignMail, I can do the same thing for Libras.<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone for their help,<br>
-Steve</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
