Janina, I know that some work has been done on Braille in Gnopernicus, but I don't think it is nearly as comprehensive as BRLTTY. I've had a hard time getting information about it. In any case, what I am developing is a Braille Transcription package. It will drive interpoint embossers and tactile graphics embossers like the Tiger. To read more about it, go to http://www.chpi.org/gnomebrl.html . John On Sun, 1 Sep 2002 janina@afb.net wrote: > Are you aware that a braille translation library is part of Gnopernicus? > > > John J.
