Hello everyone on the SW List, and Amit!
This is so exciting, that you began work on the 2-D TTF font, which you describe below, and I believe you will be presenting at the SW Symposium 2024 on this topic?

This is something we have needed for years and I am grateful that you are applying some of your busy time to focusing on the issue. I hope others can contribute to this project too.

Thank you for submitting your registration to the SW Symposium online.

Register for the SignWriting Symposium 2024:
