Hi Stefan -

Yes...your symbol is very close...the base should be just a little  
skinnier like the other handshapes...yours is a little thicker, but  
TrueType is an art and i know you know what you are doing! I am always  
impressed with your True Type fonts, Stefan!

I just did this diagram in Photoshop to show you how I would have  
constructed that symbol, if it were in the ISWA...of course you are  
right that the top finger should not be so dark...and technically we  
could have constructed it that way without a paint program, in  
SignPuddle this morning, but I did not take the time...so here is how  
I would do it if it were an "official symbol" :
