63 Downloads63%20Downloads637 Comments7%20Comments778 Glyphs78%20Glyphs78The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 1821. Mew Wins' Morse Code Alphabet (International) inspired me to make a Braille FontStruction. I have only drawn the basic, or Grade 1, version of the Braille alphabet here. (There is a contracted version of Braille, known as Grade 2, and another version which uses an 8 dot grid. In addition, there are special Braille characters for accented letters, but they are not all standardized, so for now I have stayed away from them.) Special characters: There are no capital letters in Braille. Instead, there is a symbol for "capital letter follows," which I have placed in the "at" (@) symbol. The "number follows" symbol is usually placed in the space for the "number" symbol (#), so I've followed that convention. In addition, I have copied the symbol for each letter into both the upper and lower case spaces, to make it easier to type something up (or select an existing text file) and switch the font to Braille (Basic).The%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FBraille%22%3EBraille%20system%3C%2Fa%3E%20was%20developed%20by%20Louis%20Braille%20in%201821.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AMew%20Wins%27%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F48411%22%3EMorse%20Code%20Alphabet%20%28International%29%3C%2Fa%3E%20inspired%20me%20to%20make%20a%20Braille%20FontStruction.%20I%20have%20only%20drawn%20the%20basic%2C%20or%20Grade%201%2C%20version%20of%20the%20Braille%20alphabet%20here.%20%28There%20is%20a%20contracted%20version%20of%20Braille%2C%20known%20as%20Grade%202%2C%20and%20another%20version%20which%20uses%20an%208%20dot%20grid.%20In%20addition%2C%20there%20are%20special%20Braille%20characters%20for%20accented%20letters%2C%20but%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pharmabraille.co.uk%2Fbraille-alphabet.html%22%3Ethey%20are%20not%20all%20standardized%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20so%20for%20now%20I%20have%20stayed%20away%20from%20them.%29%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cstrong%3ESpecial%20characters%3A%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20There%20are%20no%20capital%20letters%20in%20Braille.%20Instead%2C%20there%20is%20a%20symbol%20for%20%22capital%20letter%20follows%2C%22%20which%20I%20have%20placed%20in%20the%20%22at%22%20%28%40%29%20symbol.%20The%20%22number%20follows%22%20symbol%20is%20usually%20placed%20in%20the%20space%20for%20the%20%22number%22%20symbol%20%28%23%29%2C%20so%20I%27ve%20followed%20that%20convention.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn%20addition%2C%20I%20have%20copied%20the%20symbol%20for%20each%20letter%20into%20both%20the%20upper%20and%20lower%20case%20spaces%2C%20to%20make%20it%20easier%20to%20type%20something%20up%20%28or%20select%20an%20existing%20text%20file%29%20and%20switch%20the%20font%20to%20%3Cstrong%3EBraille%20%28Basic%29%3C%2Fstrong%3E.

37 Downloads37%20Downloads372 Comments2%20Comments291 Glyphs91%20Glyphs91The original Morse code was created for Samuel F.B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, but spread to radio communications (and beyond) beginning in the 1890s. (It is now known as American Morse code, and rarely used.) International Morse code was created by Friedrich Clemens Gerke in 1848, and standardized at the International Telegraphy congress (Paris) in 1865. Other current Morse Code FontStructions have encountered word- and letter-spacing issues, and I tried to work around this by stacking the dots and dashes vertically. The result reminds me a bit of Mayan numerals, but hey, as long as it still reads as Morse... I wonder what the ITU would say about this? One thing's for sure... it saves a lot of horizontal space. In each character, the dots and dashes read from top to bottom rather than from left to right. Punctuation has the longest series of dots and dashes in International Morse Code (six), so this number determined my cap height. :-) The shorter characters all hang from this imaginary line. Missing characters: Please note that the !, & and $ symbols are not defined within the ITU recommendations for International Morse code, so they are not part of this typeface. On the other hand, the @ symbol was approved for use in 2004, so I've also included the underscore sign I found at two different online sources. (The underscore symbol has not been formally approved by the ITU, but it could come in handy if you have to transmit an e-mail address using Morse code!) Other characters: As with my two Braille FontStructions, the uppercase and lowercase versions of each character are the same. Also, the opening and closing parentheses share the same symbol, which will also show up if you type brackets instead of parentheses. Last but not least, there are a very few diacritics included (the ones I was able to verify).The%20original%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMorse_code%22%3E%3Cstrong%3EMorse%20code%3C%2Fstrong%3E%3C%2Fa%3E%20was%20created%20for%20Samuel%20F.B.%20Morse%27s%20electric%20telegraph%20in%20the%20early%201840s%2C%20but%20spread%20to%20radio%20communications%20%28and%20beyond%29%20beginning%20in%20the%201890s.%20%28It%20is%20now%20known%20as%20American%20Morse%20code%2C%20and%20rarely%20used.%29%20%3Cstrong%3EInternational%20Morse%20code%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20was%20created%20by%20Friedrich%20Clemens%20Gerke%20in%201848%2C%20and%20standardized%20at%20the%20International%20Telegraphy%20congress%20%28Paris%29%20in%201865.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AOther%20current%20Morse%20Code%20FontStructions%20have%20encountered%20word-%20and%20letter-spacing%20issues%2C%20and%20I%20tried%20to%20work%20around%20this%20by%20stacking%20the%20dots%20and%20dashes%20vertically.%20The%20result%20reminds%20me%20a%20bit%20of%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMaya_numerals%22%3EMayan%20numerals%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20but%20hey%2C%20as%20long%20as%20it%20still%20reads%20as%20Morse...%20I%20wonder%20what%20the%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FInternational_Telecommunication_Union%22%3EITU%3C%2Fa%3E%20would%20say%20about%20this%3F%20One%20thing%27s%20for%20sure...%20it%20saves%20a%20lot%20of%20horizontal%20space.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AIn%20each%20character%2C%20the%20dots%20and%20dashes%20read%20from%20top%20to%20bottom%20rather%20than%20from%20left%20to%20right.%20Punctuation%20has%20the%20longest%20series%20of%20dots%20and%20dashes%20in%20International%20Morse%20Code%20%28six%29%2C%20so%20this%20number%20determined%20my%20cap%20height.%20%3A-%29%20The%20shorter%20%20characters%20all%20hang%20from%20this%20imaginary%20line.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cstrong%3EMissing%20characters%3A%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20Please%20note%20that%20the%20%3Cstrong%3E%21%3C%2Fstrong%3E%2C%20%3Cstrong%3E%26%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20and%20%3Cstrong%3E%24%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20symbols%20are%20not%20defined%20within%20the%20ITU%20recommendations%20for%20International%20Morse%20code%2C%20so%20they%20are%20not%20part%20of%20this%20typeface.%20On%20the%20other%20hand%2C%20the%20%3Cstrong%3E%40%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20symbol%20was%20approved%20for%20use%20in%202004%2C%20so%20I%27ve%20also%20included%20the%20underscore%20sign%20I%20found%20at%20two%20different%20online%20sources.%20%28The%20underscore%20symbol%20has%20not%20been%20formally%20approved%20by%20the%20ITU%2C%20but%20it%20could%20come%20in%20handy%20if%20you%20have%20to%20transmit%20an%20e-mail%20address%20using%20Morse%20code%21%29%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cstrong%3EOther%20characters%3A%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20As%20with%20my%20two%20Braille%20FontStructions%2C%20the%20uppercase%20and%20lowercase%20versions%20of%20each%20character%20are%20the%20same.%20Also%2C%20the%20opening%20and%20closing%20parentheses%20share%20the%20same%20symbol%2C%20which%20will%20also%20show%20up%20if%20you%20type%20brackets%20instead%20of%20parentheses.%20Last%20but%20not%20least%2C%20there%20are%20a%20very%20few%20diacritics%20included%20%28the%20ones%20I%20was%20able%20to%20verify%29.

It was made for myself but I'm sure it would be great for someone else learning. It has the correct spacing between letters, dots and dashes, and has most of the common special characters, The only problem is spacing between words. NOTE: The little thing in the top left hand corner at the start of each letter is there so the spacing works correctly, at the moment it works fine on the website but when downloaded, it didn't space the individual letters as they should have been, this will probably be temporary, but its not even noticeable in the downloaded version anyway.
