You might be interested in the brltty-trtxt tool, which does exactly that. I use it a lot to convert from various braille character sets to unicode braille. > To do that, I plan to use unicode braille as the internal coding > system.

Is there a font > available for Fedora that displays unicode braille? I don't know about Fedora packaging, but Samuel has produced some console fonts for unicode braille. In Debian, that is packaged as "console-braille". The Linux console font system allows for 512 glyph entries. You can load a typical font for 256 characters, and add the unicode braille font on top of that. Rather convenient, but it takes a bit of setting up. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
