>That does indeed produce characters which correspond to the correct >dot patterns in the text_nabcc.dis display table, so far so good ... Turns out they actually copied their table froj orus. See its comments. >Yes, in this case an ancient Braille Blazer. It's ancient enough I >can't find documentation on its 8-dot display table. It's table probably doesn't match ours. Note that ours isn't any kind of official standard. It was invented to meet a requirement way back in the days when we weren't using Unicode characters. >Also, IOS 26 has >introduced a new cluster of applications under the Braille Access >rubric. This includes a nice feature for reading files on a braille >device with reasonable workflows for getting them there from my Linux >laptop. Alas it doesn't understand unicode braile so I was curious to >try 8-dot brf. Failed on both counts. If you can get it to produce an example file containing all 256 dot patterns then maybe its table can be reverse-engineered. If you can send me such a file and let me know which order the characters are in then I can have a look at it. >And alas the BB isn't expecting 8-dot brf. Worth a try to avoid buying >a new embosser for the task. Sure. Again, though, I must emphasize that there's no actual standard known as 8-dot BRF. Same (somewhat modified) offer. If you can send it all possible byte values and let me know which dot patterns they result in then I can write a table for you. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://mielke.cc/xmother.html (Letter from a Feminist ex-Mother) _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
