Urgl. From a theoretical point of view, it's funny to see that it can be
implemented as a mere font :)

However, that covers one language only (and it's not so beautiful
to read :) ). I'd rather see an OOo transcription plugin rather use
liblouis and render the text or braille itself, adjusting the size as
appropriate.
