    Yeah, GP, that's the way it was. Argent meant silver, but was represented in heraldry by the color white. Additionally, Or meant gold, but was represented by the color yellow.

    This is pretty cool... but I can't quite create my own family shield with it ... which is:

    Sable [Black], a chevron argent between three [spearheads, though I don't know what the proper heraldic term for them is] of the same, embruled.

    It doesn't seem to recognize embruled at all, which is of lesser concern, but also doesn't have spearheads as an accepted charge. Oh well.

    ...It's too bad... because I'd been meaning to create an image of my chield to use as an avatar here for a while, but not had time. This could've made that easier...

    [Edit... well... I just found out that spearheads are called "pheons"... and this thing does indeed have pheons, though it still doesn't understand embruled, but I can do that in inkscape or something if need be... cool...]
