[Sw-l] png files of all symbols?

[Ms. AnnaGrace]

Hi Steve,

You are right - SVG files are preferable over PNG files for the quality. I
believe Canva.com accepts SVG files.

Could you please direct me to where I could obtain SVG files from
https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/font-db?

To make the volume of symbols more manageable, I could accept the symbols
used in American Sign Language (ASL). If these ASL symbols could somehow be
categorized into a group or one folder, it would help me tremendously in
uploading them onto Canva.com. Would that be possible?

Thanks so much,
AnnaGrace
