The text that Orca feeds via BrlAPI is not processed through the brltty contraction algorithm, because Orca would have no way to know how wide the output will be and thus the quantity of text to feed. Instead, Orca should use a braille contraction library like liblouis, and send dots via BrlAPI. This is actually exactly the same problem as font rendering on a graphical display: nowadays, all font rasterization is performed on the client side, and mere pixmaps are sent to the X server.
