<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Yair,<br>
Two colors are needed because we need one for the back of hand
usually black and another for the filling in the shape so that it
isn't transparent and that is usually white. Both are on the same
glyph.<br>
For number 4. A font would only need to be downloaded once to
show any number of pages. So it would save bandwith in the
longrun. <br>

<div>A few issues on using a font to supply the symbols on
Incubator:</div>
1. Having the colors inherited directly from the font color
would solve some issues on the Incubator, such as getting the
:visited colors to work, and getting past the heavy
MutationObservers monitoring style changes.
<div>
2. If the symbols themselves are actual simple text nodes in
the document, wouldn't this interfere with copy-pasting signs?</div>
<div>3. Is there an existing way to convert FSW straight to the
Unicode symbols?</div>
<div>
4. 2-6 MB is rather large. The largest page currently on the
ASL Incubator project loads approximately 1.3MB of images from
SWIS. Would this actually generally save bandwidth?</div>

Hi Jonathan,<br>
<br>
A promising emerging technology is being developed called
"SVG glyphs for OpenType fonts". This will include colored
and/or animated glyphs in OpenType fonts.<br>

In theory, we can load the ISWA 2010 symbols as a 2-color
font using the above specification. The resulting font file
will not handle the 2-dimensional placement, but it will be
able to be installed on the client side. The resulting font
would support the entire symbol set of the ISWA 2010.<br>
<br>
In theory, we could load the current symbol SVGs into a font
that would support the Unicode specification being published
next year. The resulting file would be 2 to 6 MB.<br>
<br>
If this worked, it would be a viable alternative to an image
server for SignWriting. The 2-dimensional placement of
symbols would be handled with HTML and CSS on the client
side.<br>
<br>
In particular, the Incubator project would need to be
rewritten to position the individual symbols rather than
request a completed sign, but it would save a lot of
bandwidth because we wouldn't need to download the SVGs for
each new signs.<br>
