And for right now...if we treat written Chinese as "a graphic" and you send me the Menu headings written in Chinese - I could scan in the characters "as a graphic" and place them in Menu headings, just as I will be doing for the icons and for the SignWriting headings. This has no connection with the way you will type SignWriting or Chinese later - I am just talking about the Menu Headings. We have a way to place graphics in the Menu Headings. So send me the translations anytime - Valerie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org The DAC, Deaf Action Committee for SW Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
