Hello Peter,
Could you advise what your student is/was expecting by the "old"
method?
The UK Braille Authority's method is to prefix an accented letter with
dot 4. However, you can apply DBT's "french" Style to any French Text
to obtain French single cell accented braille characters.
As regards this, and the setting up of your Index braille embosser,
please feel free to telephone (number below), and I'm sure we'll be
able to sort things out very quickly.
All the best,
George Bell

Subject: [duxuser] French accents
Hello,
I (a newbie) set up Duxbury for a friend of mine the other day. She
works with French language a lot and tells me that the accent symbols
are not what she expected. Has there, perhaps, been a new
specification
released? If so, is there any way to make Duxbury use the 'old'
method?
We're also having difficulties with printing to her Index Basic D2
embosser (large gaps appearing), but suspect it may be something to do
with the printer and Duxbury not agreeing on what size paper is being
used...
Many thanks for any guidance.
