Not at all. We braille users, especially when working with languages other than English, need more than 256 non-braille characters. Even for those who can live with just 256 non-braille characters, it's still a major pain having to come up with a usable braille-capable font for every needed 256 non-braille characters set. I can assure you, as an actual braille user, that the limitation has been a very long-standing problem and it's a great relief that it's finally been resolved. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: d...@mielke.cc | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 |
