Citando machado at softwarelivre.org:
I've sent the former email before finnishing it :)

So, a have this new tiny script which uses Fontforge to create a  
truetype font file from those svg images. I have this TTF file then I  
guess is roughly 11Mb.
I'll send it to Val to keep the list data volume normal.
If it's OK, I would ask her to put on signwriting.org.

I've  put the IWMA2004 symbols in the very last 25000+ positions of  
unicode utf-8 encoding. I know it is not usual and it is not  
respecting unicode standards. But i did it just to use in my research.
I would appreciate if you, the experts, point me better positions.

All the best :)
