A .brf file is a plain text file that can be opened in any editor or
word processor.  One simple way to do this is to change the extension
from .brf to .txt and just click on it in Windows to open it in Notepad.
(Users who are Windows pros can use "Open with....".)  Then you can
change the font to anything you want.  For inkprint dots you can use
Duxbury's SimBraille (with shadow dots), Braille (without shadow dots)
or other braille fonts consistent with North American Braille ASCII.
You can also use your favorite standard text font to display the braille
as  ASCII text.

I think the braille fonts are designed so that 22 pt is closest to the
size of American standard embossed braille.
