Typing shorthand on a computer

Hello,

I see that the idea of creating a font or an input program allowing Gregg to be typed has been floating around for many years. I have dug up quite a few threads on this topic here, most of them quite old and dating back to 2005. Have those discussions ever come to fruition? Where are we at? Have we found any way of digitally constructing an outline from the basic letters?

As I am a beginner, I was thinking I could simply scan all the new outlines I come across in my daily practice, and make a font out of them using FontForge for example, thanks to the glyph/ligature function. That would be for French Gregg though.

 

But at the same time I see there is an ASCII Gregg project, somthing called Gregory, a Yahoo group called Aggregate… I’m completely lost as to what has been done so far.

If anyone could briefly summarize what we have so that I don’t reinvent the wheel… Thanks!
