Actually, I would like to generate a file, as a sighted person would generate it with Inkscape for instance, based on a True Type Braille font. That file would be used in any situations: 3D printing, deep embossing (not Braile embosser) or swell embossing. With that kind of software, they can set the fot size (I know there is a tolerance depending on the size of the support, 24pt, 23.5pt). > > Brltty comes with a command called brltty-ctb that can do what you're looking > for.
