SignWriting ListMarch 25, 2012
Hello Yuri and everyone!
THANK YOU, Yuri, for writing this beautiful sign, and doing such a creative job. It is a pretty sign, like art!
And thank you for accepting my comments, I appreciate your openness and interest in writing so that we all can read the signs.
First, I can see that perhaps you are using old software to write signs? Maybe you are using SW-Edit or SignWriter DOS?
SW-Edit is an excellent program developed in Brazil, by Dr. Antonio Carlos da Rocha Costa and Rafael Piccin Torchelsen.

I would be happy to help the developers update SW-Edit, if they have the time. Or perhaps someone else can help to update the software. The problem is that SW-Edit has not been updated since the International SignWriting Alphabet was developed, so this means that you are using out-of-date symbols in SW-Edit. You are not using the ISWA 2010, when you use SW-Edit. The same with SignWriter DOS. It is out-of-date too.
Can you use SignPuddle Online for Brazil? That would be better, so you are using the same symbols as the rest of the world.
