[Sw-l] Multilingual sign dictionary with SignWriting

[Stephen Slevinski]

Hi Val,

The dictionary is beautiful, I agree.  I was looking a little deeper 
into the site and I was happy to see that they are using the 
@sutton-signwriting/font-db package.
* https://sign.dictio.info

The major benefit of using this package is that they can add new 
SignWriting using text rather than having to create and upload new 
images.  In a practical sense, the sign I linked in my original message 
requires 0.086 KB of text opposed to an 8 KB image.  The images are 
generated as needed, so any sign that can be written with Formal 
SignWriting in ASCII (FSW) is possible.

I'm glad the new Sutton SignWriting packages are helping people develop 
new applications for SignWriting.

Very cool!
-Steve
