[nabop] Lesson 15 in UEB Certification Course

[Dani Pagador]

Hi, Everyone.
I'm hoping there's someone on list who's taken the UEB course and has
gone through Lesson 15.

I'm wondering how you managed  to understand the typeforms and make
the proper associations so you could Braille correctly. I am
particulary frustrated about the small letters section.

I'm looking at the .pdf of the lesson with JFW to try to understand
what is happening with the print so I can make the proper leap re the
Braille, but am having trouble seeing why things are the way they are.
I have all the attributes set to show on my Braille display, and use
the Insert+f and the Insert+5 to check on typeface and color. But I'm
not getting very far.

For example, in the sentence "Gainsborough painted Blue Boy." the .brf
shows the first word as italicized, and a different typeface on the
last two words.

When I use JFW and my Braille display to read the .pdf to understand
the print correlation, all I see is that the whole sentence is
italicized.

Any ideas?

I'm worried about how I'll handle this, especially as it'll come up
when I try to do my trial manuscript and need to check the Braille
against the print to be sure it's accurate. I'm considering using a
.pdf or .doc of the printed version of my manuscript for this. How did
you manage to proof your manuscript as a blind person?

Thanks,
Dani
