Braille Font

[userk999]

Would it be possible to add a Braille font to the list of available fonts in the Premium text options?

I have made a few door signs and I think that it is an ADA requirement to include Braille on these signs. If not a requirement it would be a courteous gesture.

Thanks

A reasonable request. You need to email support, or post in Problems and Support. They don’t monitor the discussion forums.

ADA requirement to include Braille

you might need to check to make sure a laser generated braille would meet those requirements. not saying it won’t, but it generally doesn’t create the same kind of smooth surface that other processes do.

As a workaround, Inkscape v1.0 (free) includes the Braille Text extension in its basic install.

I tried it but couldn’t make it work. I did not invest a lot of time with it.

Step 1: Type text, e.g. “There is no try, only do”
Step 2: Go to: Text | Convert to Braille
Step 3: Press return:

Can’t speak for GF, of course, but the are just licensing the fonts an delivering them via an api. I highly doubt they have the ability to add a new font to the source api. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Best of luck.
