| 94750 | 2002-10-31 01:30:00 | erm... is American Sign language different from what we use? Perhaps their accent has something to do with it? ;\ Do the porple from the southern states use a different sign language than those in the north? Seriously, you can get font design software: www.fontsnthings.com It might be worth checking is NZ sign language is the same as UK language. |

| 94752 | 2002-10-31 01:45:00 | I just did a quick google search for "freeware font creator". I'm not deaf myself, nor do I knw anyone who is. At school, back in the Middle Ages, I had a friend whose sister was deaf and he taught some of us the alphabet. _Some_ people used it to cheat at exams :O .... but I'd never condone cheating myself :D |

| 94756 | 2002-10-31 18:45:00 | Why not?. I find that the size of the fonts don't suit me as I have to play around with them to get them right. Also why not design something so that basic signs (eg Hello, thank you, good etc) are displayed as a single sign as opposed to fingerspelling when the user types in the english word. This doesn't sound like a font file but could be developed as a programme to help ppl sign. sam m |

| 94757 | 2002-10-31 20:34:00 | For the NZSL font to appear clearly use size 72 bold... and i learnt something awesome last nite...it is capable to work in MSN as long the other end has the file too :d I could make a font file with signs for whole words..but how can we get microsoft word to pick it up..say u wrote HELLO...and it automatically changes it to the sign for hello.... if microsoft word wouldnt work, theres always getting one basic program..probably wordpad...or something and re-arrange anything on there to actually make it work..with the NZSL... mmmm :-) |

| 94758 | 2002-10-31 20:43:00 | Didn't know about using in MSN, thanks for that. I normally would use the NZSL font if there is a presentation, flyer or if I am creating a greeting card (for both Deaf and hearing) I would use the NZSL font. As for the how? to make MS word pick that up is your worry ;). Good luck if you pursue that idea. sam m |
