[Blindmath] MathType in UEB

[Neil Soiffer]

MathPlayer's braille support makes use of liblouis. At the time of the
latest MathPlayer release, liblouis did not support UEB math. I know
supporting UEB math is something the liblouis group is working towards, but
AFAIK, it has yet to make it into a liblouis release. If I'm wrong about
this, I hope someone who is active in that group will correct me.
