Hi guys, 
We already have an Icelandic LibLouis table here at ViewPlus, isn't it already 
part of the LibLouis package?

To make sure braille patterns are rendered as such, you can use the
Unicode braille patterns, e.g. ⠁⠃⠉⠛.  I don't know if some tool exist on
Windows to type them easily.  On Linux you can use the "brai" layout
which maps the asdfjkl; keys onto a braille keyboard. Enabling the
grp:alt_caps_toggle for instance then permits to use alt+capslock to
toggle between normal keyboard and braille layout.

That being said, an excel or pdf format would be fine for me, as I am
sighted.
