John: the font files are indeed binary, they would need to be copied during installation. I still haven't found a 8-dot Braille font. If anyone has any source, please step in! Speaking of fonts, I haven't used a Linux system for a while, and don't have access to a Mac. Can people who are knowledgeable on those platforms tell me if there is a 'Courier' or 'Courier New' font available as a native font to their respective windowing interface? Thanks. François.
