Description
The Dscript alphabet featured in the material on www.Dscript.ca and the Dscript Manual uses the first Dscript alphabet I indexed.

Since then there have been some changes and adaptions to the witting system. Dscript has evolved from a binary based writing system into a "Directional Script", by directional script I mean a script capable of both vertical and horizontal cursive writing with a single design. This Directional alphabet was the Dscript form used in the manual and site. This is the Dscript v1.0 alphabet.

The alphabet in the pic on the left is the Dscript v1.2 alphabet.

The Dscript v1.0 and v1.2 alphabets are almost identical, with the only real fundamental change being the letter Z. I abandoned the the complex and troublesome design for a simpler version, which still maintains the original Latin alphabet form to some degree.

The usage of the alphabet also evolved, it went from a "directional script" as in the manual and generator, into a dimensional script. The term Dimensional script describes the ability for the string of directional letters to be curved, wrapped, forked, and even have letters placed inside of or on top of each other. These extra dimensionality mainly adds the ability for forks and intersections, which also require "reading rules" to determine sequence and path of reading.
