What about making a font with pictures of hands doing

making users download that?
Hoi,
Sign languages are more complicated than just pictures of hands. Facial
expressions are part of the language. So making a font is not
applicable. By the way, there is a font for "wording". So it is possible
to show this text in a font with hands indicating the characters.
Thanks,
