Perfected TrueType font images

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hi Steve,
     Thank you for your hard work.  I am also very happy that you have 
also seperated out the filling.  That is great!!

Nice to see that you got good quality in the True Type too.

I am wondering why you decided to have the filling area empty in


Now we have to put any of three fillings

For palm facing

Index edge

back of hand


Instead of just two white fillings
For palm facing

Index edge


Back of hand is already filled in.
