My dad owned a sign company... The differences between an M and a W--considering something might be upside down--are 1) The middle "V" between the legs of an M is short, and the same structure in a W is as tall as the legs, and 2) The legs of the M are plumb, while the legs of the W have a slant. People make up all sorts of wacky fonts and styles (I can't stand dotted capital Is.) but this is the standard. Flipping one of them if you need the other will work in a pinch, of course...but it ain't Kosher.
