Hi Chase,
RFB&D support would be extremely extremely helpful, especially for
textbooks etc. I myself would be interested in the font changes--I
didn't even know you could do that in the first place. I'm not sure if
this is a feature or not already, but it would be cool if you could
switch to Computer Braille or another Braille code, so you can enter,
for instance, Spanish symbols such as é, í, á, é, and ñ, etc.
