Re: Monospaced Simulated Braille



The Braille characters should probably be monospace. Please write a bug.

I want to display and edit simulated Braille.


OS X has had Braille fonts since Tiger, so all I need to do is pass the
correct Unicode codes to NSTextView, except the Braille fonts are
proportional spaced, and I need monospaced.



There is a Unicode entity called BRAILLE PATTERN BLANK which could double as
a space, except that NSTextView doesn't treat it as white space. It's not
used for finding word breaks.



I've been looking for solutions along the lines of:

Override the character spacing of a font, or

Override the definition of white space, or

Override the word break algorithm.

but I haven't found documentation for any of that.


Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

James
