The characters of SW are not a font in and of themselves as there are far
too many characters to fit on a QWERTY keyboard plus they all rotate. What
you will need to do is download the SignWriter program and run it from DOS.
It really isn't designed, right now, to run interactively with other
programs other than PageMaker (in some versions).
Check the various files on signwriting.org to help you to read once loaded,
but a the moment it is not a "font" in which you "type ASL" it is a typing
system in and of itself.
