Small-Size SW in ASL Dictionaries Posted

SignWriting List
May 31, 2006

Dear SW List!
Three new dictionary-documents, produced with the new SignBank 8, are  
now available on the web. It is best to print them on paper, since  
the smaller size SignWriting is easier to read on paper than on the  
computer screen. On paper, the small-sized SignWriting is crisp and  
clean...

Print-SmallSize.pdf


English-ASL Dictionary (185 kb)

Print-SmallSize.pdf



SignBank 8 makes it possible to print SignWriting at smaller sizes,  
while still printing on normal size paper...the SignWriting shrinks  
without the paper size shrinking ;-))

So these PDF documents have smaller-size SignWriting, but when you  
print on your machine, just print at 100 per cent normal size and you  
will see the SignWriting is a clear and clean at a smaller  
size...great for ink jet printers!

I hope this works well on A4 printers as well as US letter size  
paper...if someone wants to test it printing on A4 I would like to  
know if all the margins are clean and you can read everything without  
anything being cut off by the printer...

I hope to have SignBank 8 with the new IMWA 1.4 ready by Autumn,  
2006...just in time for the school year!


Val ;-)
