Here is my offering, a Font named LouisBraille.ttf and LouisBraille.otf I built

Braille letters well as a full set of Unicode Braille glyphs as well. They are 
free to use so feel free to include them in the BrailleZephyr program that 
would solve the issue with getting SimBraille installed.

Thanks for donating these fonts. I'm wondering if I should include these fonts in the liblouis distribution. Or would these be better of donating them to a dedicated font hosting place such as https://fontlibrary.org/?

If we decide to include them in liblouis then I think it would be helpful to include the source file to build/modify the font and a standard license. The Fontlibrary seems to recommend the Open Font License (https://fontlibrary.org/en/guidebook/font_licensing).

What do you think?

Thanks
Christian
