Allography, from the Greek for "other writing", has several meanings which all relate to how words and sounds are written down. An allograph may be the opposite of an autograph; that is, a person's words or name (signature) written by someone else.[1] Allography is also the variation in how letters and other graphemes are written. The letter g, for example, has two common and many less common forms (glyphs) in different typefaces, and an enormous variety in people's handwriting. A positional example of allography is the so-called long s, a symbol which was once a widely-used non-final allograph of the lowercase letter s. The fact that handwritten allographs differ so widely from person to person, and even from day to day with the same person, means that handwriting recognition software is enormously complicated.
