What about in Computers? --85.101.127.73 01:49, 8 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I added something creative. The original entry came from Webster's 1913 - a little before the computing age, IIRC.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:03, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Etymology
A french source gives the etymology as abrebiation of subscription receipt, a term used in finance in the eighteen century about loans (which you subscribe) - i.e. not directly from latin scriptus. Makes more sense in my eyes. Someone to check? --Diligent 15:18, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Printing and handwriting styles
The definition about printing is wring, and the similar one about writing is missing. The printing definition, a type of type imitating handwriting, would include comic sans, which is not a script font. the synonym given is cursive, which is what I think script means for the Latin alphabet, be that in printing or writing. However, there’s also such thing as Hebrew script, where the letters don’t run together at all. So our definition will have to include that. What Hebrew and Latin script have in common is that they’re adapted to being written quickly in fluid penstrokes. --Simplificationalizer (talk) 05:17, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
