Shavian eGroup Archive Browser

Hi,

I was looking over the Revised Shaw Alphabet of Kingsley Read
document in the files section. I have all the fonts except one
named "Kingsley", which I cannot find anywhere. Does anyone know
where I can find it?

Thanks.

Hi Paige

A Quikscript board shouldn't be too much trouble in principle, it would take
a while to sort the font face change out for the new boards, but I could
just adapt the code used for the Shavian ones.

Before any more boards are created though (it takes a lot to get the
different font faces to work) I'd like to see how well the current ones
work - if it turns out that people like and use them I'll certainly create
more boards to fit the demand.

Hugh:

Per your request to let you know, I never received a password from
ikonboard either. Thanks for the response regarding the possibility of
adding a Quikscript board down the road. Something I had not previously
mentioned: due to my long time familiarity with Quikscript and my lack of
exposure to Shavian for some 25 years, once the Jerome font became
available (with its key mapping the same as Shavian, except for the extra
letters and half-letters Quikscript has that Shavian does not), I copy the
e-mails in Shavian and paste them into my word processor and then convert
them to Jerome. This makes reading them a snap. I also avoid increasing
my "cognitive dissonance" level, which is inherent in trying to become
fluent in reading both scripts since a few symbols in Shavian stand for
different phonemes in Quikscript.

News of the wXld or at least the wemstxn hemisfC


* fVx strOks fP mP fOlks ........So many Japanese are using the Short Message Service on their cellular telephones that thousands of "repetitive stress syndrome" injuries were reported last year, due to the users' incessant "thumbing." (Of course, we presume they are thumbing in Japanese.) Short Message Service will reach the United State in the next few years, so it seems that we will all have sore thumbs - unless someone comes up with a handy shorthand code to cut down the number of strokes in a message.

* wF kAnt /JYnI rId? The city of Chicago ("hog butcher to the world") has shown great progress in the last few years in improving its sad school system. Test scores rose in all areas in the last few years, but this year, reading scores have "stagnated" and they just don't know why. Richard Daley, the Mayor, has promised to spend more money on teaching reading.

* a vaniSiN industrI? The National Spelling Bee (read contest) was held in Washington DC last week. A boy won $10,000 for spelling succedaneum. The spelling bee, which is at least 40 years old, is sponsored by a large American newspaper chain - in the belief, perhaps, that encouraging proper spelling will foster more newspaper readership. Strangely, all 40 national winners have seemed to slip back into immediate obscurity and are never heard from again. Note: the winner was never asked the meaning of succedaneum.

* a blIk fYkast fY H web.... English may be the dominant language on the web today, but one big accounting firm here is quoting statistics that by 2005, Chinese will be the dominant language. Now there's a character set to ponder.

All,

Scott informs me he has just received his password. I should think all of
you who have signed up will receive your passwords before long.

Just to let you know - I have now removed the 'email passwords to new users'
feature - any new users to sign up will be able to obtain their passwords
immediately from their web browser. No more waiting, hopefully!

Regards,
Hugh
