I agree with the emotion (especially the way Micro$oft effectively stole TrueType from Apple and then unilaterally extended the specification to entrap people in it, classic "embrace and extend"), but I was under the impression that there was a free rendering engine for TrueType somewhere. The initial SignWriting programs would probably use bitmaps, but at least we should be able to generate the bitmaps from a common source. -- Greg Noel, retired UNIX guru | ||||||||
