but what do we do with braille embossers that do more than just text? We do 
have a Tiger (www.viewplus.com), and this printer does graphics too (with 8 
dot levels). It has the ability to detect when special tiger fonts are used 
under Windows and then translates the font to braille. If you use, say, 
Arial, then it prints the graphical representations of the font, not the 
braille code.
