Hello dear list members,
I realized that My current Persian grade 1 table causes some
difficulties when used by Persian users on braille displays.
Sometimes, We use English letters and words in between Persian text;
For example, When reading a technological or scientific article, we
may encounter to English words or acronyms.
to differentiate between English and Persian letters, I had added dot
7 to uppercase and dot 8 to lowercase English letters in fa-ir-g1.utb;
But, this causes Persian users are not comfortable when reading such
texts.
Thus, I have to modify the table.
1. I know uppercase English letters can be identified by a leading dot
6. Is there any rule available that allows to distinguish lowercase
letters with leading dots 5-6 in the following manner?
about = ⠰⠁⠃⠕⠥⠞ (all lowercases just with a leading 5-6)
2. In Persian, We have a character named "Shadda" or "Tashdeed"
(\x0651). When we are typing we type the mentioned character after a
letter. But in litterary braille, Shadda places before the letter.
For example: We tipe (امّا) and we see this word according to
fa-ir-g1.utb as (⠁⠍⠠⠁); But correct form is (⠁⠠⠍⠁).
Is there any rule available to correct this?
3. Is it possible that we could upload our modified tables to
https://reiner-dolp.github.io/liblouis-web/ to test them?
4. I have Windows 10 64-bit. How can I benefit from YAML tests? How
can I install LibYAML on my computer or is there any pre-compiled
version available for Windows 10 64-bit?
Excuse me for my lengthy email. I hope that my questions
understandable, despight of my poor English.
