Dave recently pointed out the brltty-trtxt command for converting among braille display codes. I have a unicode file I need to convert to 8-dot brf. I attach here as "input".
input
Description: Binary data
I tried running brltty-trtxt -o brf input > output and got the attached output
output
Description: Binary data
I think anything with dots 7 and 8 is being replaced by "replacement character" which makes me suspect the conversion is using a 6-dot brf file. I see there is an 8-dot brf display table at text_nabcc.dis First, am I diagnosing the problem correctly? If so, can I substitute the 8-dot brf display table? I tried: brltty-trtxt -o /usr/share/liblouis/tables/text_nabcc.dis input >output which didn't work with llots of errors, presumably I was handing it a display table when it wanted a text table. I could hack something together to do this but I suspect it's a job brltty has already done better. Pointers welcome. thanks in advance Peter -- Peter Rayner (he/him) My work days are Monday-Thursday, responses at other times might be slow.
