There is also a Stokoe inspired system used in Sweden that has a working font and online dictionary: Teckenskrift – Att skriva teckenspråk [edit: corrected link]
It should also be noted that SignWriting recently received official Unicode support, however it does require quite a manipulation by software to be displayed correctly as it is not meant to be typed/displayed linearly.

Zrajm (the creator of the above referenced 'teckenskrift') here. – The above system is non-linear (it's an attempt at an adaptation of ASLwrite for Swedish Sign Language).
I believe that the original poster intended to refer to https://zrajm.github.io/teckentranskription/intro.html – which is the transcription system used by Swedish (and Norwegian) sign language researchers as well as the official Swedish sign language dictionary. It was originally introduced by Brita Bergman in her 1977 book Signed Swedish, but developed further by other researchers since then. This system (also called Bergman notation) is a linear system which borrows from Stokoe notation.
There are several Sign Language Orthographies that are designed to be written linearly and have already been implemented in ad hoc fonts.
One of the most important being Stokoe Notation which was brought to Unicode's attention back in 2012:
