SignFont

[machado at SOFTWARELIVRE.ORG]

Hi, Nuno!

I've been working on a SSS2004-based truetype font.
I had put all the 25900+ symbols of SSS2004 in the end of the unicode 'slots'.
It lacks yet for regular eastern letters, numbers and punctuation glyphs.

I'm sure that there are some buggy symbols once that I had used an automatic
loading process to build the glyphs.
Once i've got the font released I believe that people will point the 
problems(if
someone ever use these fonts :o).
Good news are that I'm about to release it under a GPL-compatible[1]
License(probabily, bitstream license[2]) and I'll also add some editing
instructions in order to allow people to do the enhancing theirselves.

I really don't know if the font will be suitable for you, but I'm pretty sure
that you won't have to wait more than a few days to find out. :o)

Best Regards,

Machado
