Hi Jennica,<br class="">
<br class="">
You can check out a few YouTube videos if you want.<br class="">

You may be interested in the SignWriting Web Components.<br class="">

When creating SVG images for SignWriting, there are two packages you
can use.<br class="">
* <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sutton-signwriting/font-ttf">https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sutton-signwriting/font-ttf</a><br class="">
* <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sutton-signwriting/font-db">https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sutton-signwriting/font-db</a><br class="">
<br class="">
font-ttf is used in the browser and uses TTF files to view the
images.<br class="">
<br class="">
font-db is used in node and uses a database to create stand-alone
svg images.<br class="">
<br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class="">Hi,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I'm interested in using SignWriting programmatically.
Poking around the Internet, it seems like fonts aren't quite
there, and creating SignWriting text is done via
computer-aided SVGs. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Is that correct? If so, where can I see the latest SVG/XML
specifications? </div>
