I'm impressed! That must have taken a lot of creative processing.

Hi Bill,<br>
<br>
Yes, the conversions are interesting. Each part of the process takes
time to set up and time to run. Some processes take a few minutes.
Others take hours.<br>
<br>
I just created my first TrueType Font this afternoon. I am able to
load all of the SVG Files and apply all of the OpenType features to
the glyph set. The FontForge python scripting takes a few minutes
to run and produces a TTF file that I can install on my computer.
I've successfully created and installed over a dozen TrueType fonts.<br>
<br>
When I open the SignWriting Font Test page, I see my symbol image on
the right under the Unicode 8 section.<br>

<br>
The left image is from an SVG Server. The middle image is from
Eduardo's font. The right image is from my font with Unicode 8
characters. It works in FireFox, but not Chrome.<br>
<br>
I'm not done yet. I have several issues with the SVG data I created
and the OpenType features I defined. I need to recreate all of the
data and fine tune the import process. <br>
<br>
As an example, the arrows had issues that I will be able to
address. The middle arrow is from Eduardo's font. Initially, my
image looked the same. I was able to use a different SVG set and
produce the 1-color symbol image on the right. There are several
issues like this throughout the set that I will be able to correct.<br>

<br>
By next week, I'm hoping to have a series of 1-color fonts for the
SignWriting symbols. It should work for Unicode 8, Unicode PUA, and
Formal SignWriting. The font file is currently named "iswa2010.ttf"
and it is 4.5 MB large.<br>
<br>
After I have the 1-color fonts completed, I will need to package the
2-color fonts.<br>
<br>
