[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Making Braille Symbols in Print

[Sahar's Beaded Creations]

I will have to play with this. For instance, when I wrote the book in DBT, I
was able to type the dots for the dot locator, I have to figure out how to
represent that in braille font. I have not had too much luck finding a DBT
trainer, really. The best presentation I've ever had was done at the NFB
Trainers workshop back in, I think 2011. I live in a time warp, so that year
could be wrong. It was done by Jennifer Dunnam, and she was absolutely
brilliant. There was another one done by Curtis Chong back in like 2004, and
it was another brilliant presentation. 

Warm regards,
Sahar Husseini

I think you will have to use multiple fonts within the document to show the
symbols you want to show.

Use a print font for the print symbols, and a braille font for the braille
symbols.

Since you have Duxbury DBT, you have several braille fonts on your computer
also (Duxbury installs them for its use).
