[Alain] All things being equal otherwise (what is the expression in
English? In French we say "toutes choses �tant �gales par ailleurs"), it is
not because you have no pictograms but text in one language or twelve that
it will solve the problem of the visually-impaired people. Just put 2 kinds
of data: pictograms and braille, or better, a bas-relief (because braille
is natural-language-related too, it does not solve the linguistic problem),
but blind people can decode sculttures, they can "look" at your face by
following its contours with their hands.
