[Sw-l] New Signwriting font

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hi Uta,

     Yes, more intuitive would be the goal here.  I have the ideas in my 
head but nothing on paper yet.  I tried the tools Steve mentioned but 
I'll have to set up my computer to be able to run that code.  I gave it 
a try once but haven't got back to it yet.

Did you have any suggestions as to what your idea of a more modern and 
intuitive font would look like?

Best regards, Jonathan
