Thank you for your help and information so far.
I am getting very close I think.
I am attaching two tables I worked from scratch, 6 and 8 dot Icelandic.
These are close to final, I might have to do a ´few tweaks, but if you have any
feedback itd be very much appreciated.
My main questions are:
1. Can I map the same dot pattern to two distinct unicodes (there may be
overlap between the control characters and others in the 8-dot table, and I
don't really have a problem with it, not unless the mapping has to be unique).
2. Is the uplow usage in the 6-dot table for the Icelandic characters
correct (top of document), I specify the capsign to be dot 6 so I think I only
have to specify the lower case version of the letters, but I include the
unicode for both upper and lower case (respectively)
3. The codes #128 to #160 still puzzle me in the 8-dot table. I left in
the original, commented out, parts. I follow the Windows 1252 standard and I am
wondering if the author followed a different one, but up to symbol 127 and
after symbol 160 my version and his match on all codes, so this is a bit weird.
4. (and I simply may have to do my reading), what files / file types do I
need to create to ensure compatibility with LibLouis and Liblousxml (Open
Office, NVDA and Orca are my main concerns for initial compatibility).
I will compile and test the test tools on Windows when I get back from a little
trip I have to make over the weekend for a conference, and then I can finalize
the files. But any comments/corrections are very much appreciated.
Thank you
