Undefined quote characters in German 8 dot computer braille table #388

Closed LeonarddeR closed 5 years ago

LeonarddeR commented 7 years ago

The following characters, which are quite common in the wild, are undifined in the German 8 dot computer braille table (de-de-comp8.ctb):

@leonardder Thanks for your report. This looks like it could be fairly easy to fix. Would you like to provide a patch? Thanks

LeonarddeR commented 7 years ago

Sure, if we agree about what patterns to use here. cc @dkager

egli commented 7 years ago

Aha I see. Isn't there a standard for this? CCing my local expert @mixa72

LeonarddeR commented 7 years ago

Note that there are some other strange issues with this table. for example a tab character shows up as ⣊

LeonarddeR commented 7 years ago

@bdorer: do you also have thoughts? Is this table still used in Germany? I know it is at least used in the Netherlands and Belgian. It also seems some manufacturers refer to this table as being the european computer braille standard.

egli commented 7 years ago

According to this EuroBraille standard (don't know how authoritative it is)

egli commented 7 years ago

Sorry, now I see that you aren't even talking about U+0022 and U+0027. Disregard my previous comment

bdorer commented 7 years ago

this list is widely used in German. Another sign which isn't in the table is € (745) is the right pattern for this.

Is there an actual source which states that this should be the pattern for the euro sign?

egli commented 7 years ago

@leonardder afaik the only document which has some semblance of authority that I'm aware of is the page on EuroBraille at braille.ch.

@leonardder what is the status on this? Are you going to provide a patch? I'd love to have this in the next release. Thanks

Hi thhere, what is the status on the quotes and Euro sign issue for German 8-dot (and, maybe, also 6-dot) braille? Indeed, the information given at http://www.braille.ch/eb-erl-g.htm is of quite high authoritativity, since the webpage is maintained by a member of the Braille Authority of the German-speaking Countries (www.bskdl.org) -- of which I am a member as well.

Best regards

@APavkovic I'm basically waiting for a patch. @leonardder said he was going to do it but I'd be happy to accept a fix from anyone

bdorer commented 5 years ago

since liblouis 3.8 has changed tables for German, is there any progress?

egli commented 5 years ago

de-de-comp8.ctb hasn't changed in the 3.8 release but if I remember correctly there is a patch pending in #654. @bdorer can you check if this patch fixes your issue?

bdorer commented 5 years ago

I think the noted patch fixes this issue. Thanks for reporting.
