This is correct.  We are using SVG primarily until the TrueType Font is 
perfected.

The FSW is the mathematical name of the sign.  The SVG image is created 
from the FSW.

The SVG file is created from the FSW.  The open source project the 
"SignWriting Icon Server" is able to create the SVG from the FSW.

I just published the first release candidate for the SignWriting Icon 
Server.  You can grab the source from Github and install your own, or 
you can use one of the several existing SignWriting Icon Servers 
available online.  I would suggest the Wikimedia Labs based server.

Github source: https://github.com/Slevinski/swis

Wikimedai Labs server: http://swis.wmflabs.org
SignBank Server: http://signbank.org/swis

Specifically, the "glyphogram.php" script is used to create the SVG.
http://swis.wmflabs.org/glyphogram.php?font=svg&text=M528x546S14c18472x463S14c10503x454S2ea18481x511S2ea08513x501S2fd00494x540

You can call this script directly or learn to use the SignWriting Thin 
Viewer for website in general.
