[nabop] Lesson 15 in UEB Certification Course

[Stephanie Pieck]

Dani,

I haven't gotten to the manuscript part of the course yet, but I do plan to
scan the book I'm transcribing and converting that file to .DOC, then
transcribing from that.

The different fonts aren't as important as the difference between italics,
bold, script, etc., at least according to my reading of the Lesson 15
materials.

In the "Gainsborough" sentence, it's only the "Blue Boy" that's italicized.

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
