| Pendulum | hi | 02:05 |
| TheMuso | Hey Pendulum. | 02:12 |
| Pendulum | hi TheMuso how goes? | 02:27 |
| TheMuso | Pendulum: Not too bad thanks. Almost about to head off to bed. Yourself? | 02:27 |
| Pendulum | similar here. I'm still in Orlando and spend the day at Disney :) | 02:28 |
| * Pendulum thanks MichelleQ1 for the use of her spare room ;-) | 02:28 | |
| MichelleQ1 | :) | 02:31 |
| AlanBell | maco: thanks, I figured the best way to get a braille font that was OFL licensed would be to draw it myself | 06:58 |
| nigelb | AlanBell: Debian is now frozen, we'll have to wait for it to unfreeze | 07:00 |
| nigelb | an NMU is non-maintainer upload | 07:01 |
| nigelb | unlike ubuntu, we can't just barge into a debian package | 07:01 |
| UndiFineD | good morning | 07:05 |
| AlanBell | maco: http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/LibertusBraille.ttf | 07:59 |
| nigelb | AlanBell: NICE! | 08:00 |
| AlanBell | I am really surprised there are not *loads* of braille fonts out there | 08:01 |
| AlanBell | because it is such an easy font to completely do in a couple of hours, I would think it would be a standard exercise for anyone learning a font design tool | 08:02 |
| AlanBell | I couldn't find one that was OFL licensed, which is basically what is needed to use it as a webfont | 08:02 |
| AlanBell | or to get it in Ubuntu | 08:03 |
| AlanBell | oh nigelb did you see my Faisal etherpad? | 08:05 |
| nigelb | I did :) | 08:05 |
| nigelb | Nicely done | 08:05 |
| nigelb | I like the bit at the end where we descirbe how he should be helped | 08:05 |
| AlanBell | authentically Indian? | 08:05 |
| nigelb | that I'm not sure. | 08:06 |
| AlanBell | ok, well feel free to fix anything that is blatently unbelievable about him | 08:08 |
| JanC | AlanBell: DejaVu Sans, DejaVu Serif, FreeMono & Sawarabi Gothic are all fonts in the Ubuntu repositories that contain Braille glyphs... | 08:52 |
| JanC | they aren't exactly OFL licensed, but they are free | 08:53 |
| JanC | http://fontstruct.fontshop.com/fontstructions/show/braille_font is also CC-BY-SA | 08:56 |
| JanC | BTW: FontMatrix is very useful to find what fonts support certain glyphs | 08:59 |
| JanC | http://yudit.org/download/fonts/UBraille/ is free too | 09:03 |
| === Pendulum_ is now known as Pendulum | ||
| AlanBell | janc yes, but I wanted a font with the glyphs in the A-z positions | 10:29 |
| JanC | well, that's wrong of course, you should use the correct keyboard layout instead... ;) | 11:34 |
| JanC | actually, it seems like it's impossible to select the braille layout in the Ubunt uGUI tools? :-/ | 11:37 |
| JanC | actually, that keyboard layout is a bit weird, but it might make typing quite fast once you're used to it | 11:50 |
| JanC | every character requires 2 keypresses, but no need to move your fingers ever... | 11:50 |
| AlanBell | how did you get to that layout JanC? | 13:06 |
| JanC | I had been reading the list of layouts to answer a couple of questions on askubuntu | 13:07 |
| JanC | the layout is named 'brai' | 13:10 |
| AlanBell | my font means you can flip between Braille and latin by changing the font | 13:10 |
| AlanBell | so how do you enable it without the GUI tool? | 13:11 |
| JanC | I guess you can set it system-wide in /etc/default/console-setup | 13:12 |
| JanC | there must be an xkb tool too | 13:13 |
| JanC | I did only look at the layout source files | 13:14 |
| JanC | acually, maybe it even works different from what I thought | 13:16 |
