Hi. As soneone who last time used a real-world braille printer approximately ten years ago under DOS, I find myself in need to write code to print braille on different platforms (Linux, Windows, possibly MacOSX). Is anyone here familiar with the details of how the text stream sent to the printer needs to be formatted? How, for instance, are pagebreaks indicated? In UNIX, I am used to ASCII character 12, but given the CRLF/LF Windows/UNIX linefeed differences, I am guessing it isn't that simple. What do commonly used braille rpinters expect? Additionally, what braille mapping do they expect? Since I am printing dot patterns, it is very important that what I send is what ends up on paper in dots. I guess I am asking too much from nowadays braille printers to understand unicode braille? If so, what mappings are typically configurable on a braille printer, and what is the default, if any? Thanks for every help you can give me -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/key@xxxxxxxxxxxxx : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
