ANIMATIONS ON THE SIGNWRITING Web Site I will be happy to place animated SignWriting for the sign for Arab. So if you want to animate the SignWriting symbols moving in the sign that will be fine. But I will only place SignWriting animations on my site...no illustrations...that is not the point of SignWriting! Stefan is the expert on animating SignWriting. See the front page of his web site. That opening page has a real sentence in German Sign Language, written in SignWriting, animated...it looks like someone is really signing...plus it teaches SignWriting literacy: https://www.gebaerdenschrift.de So animate the sign for "Arab" if you wish! -- Val ;-) ___________________________ Valerie Sutton ....visit the...
