[log in to unmask]" type="cite">There are issues of overlap that must be addressed. Each symbols has positive space (line) and negative space (fill). The negative space of the symbol on top will cover the positive space of the symbol underneath.I don't understand why is a 2-color font is necessary...

A few issues on using a font to supply the symbols on Incubator:1. Having the colors inherited directly from the font color would solve some issues on the Incubator, such as getting the :visited colors to work, and getting past the heavy MutationObservers monitoring style changes.
[log in to unmask]" type="cite">The Unicode and the SVG Glyphs in the OpenType font would only be used for display. We would need a similar technique to the SVG Background idea so that we could still use the FSW for storage. The technical details aside, we would still be using FSW for copy and paste.2. If the symbols themselves are actual simple text nodes in the document, wouldn't this interfere with copy-pasting signs?
[log in to unmask]" type="cite">Yes. The Unicode characters are a little tricky to deal with, but the SignWriting Font Test Page include JavaScript fuctions that can convert the FSW strings into the Unicode characters. The code on the test page works great. It is purely functional with a lot of extra content. It definitely needs cleaned up and restructured if we want a general purpose library.3. Is there an existing way to convert FSW straight to the Unicode symbols?
