ViewPlus Tiger Software Suite |
|
|
Most braille should be produced
using the Tiger Software Suite. The Tiger Software Suite is part of your
embosser package. Instructions for installation and use come with the software
package. |

Fonts |
|
|
Tiger screen fonts are alternative braille fonts
installed during the installation of the ViewPlus embosser driver. They can be chosen
as output options in Tiger Software Suite (TSS) and other software programs,
like MathType. Tiger screen fonts appear as standard text characters on the
screen and print as braille dot patterns.
It is
very important to use the default font size and spacing for braille fonts. If
the font size or spacing is changed, the braille will not be printed with the
correct standards. For Tiger fonts, a point size of 36 is suggested. Most
other braille fonts will use a point size of 29.
Characters or text not translated to braille will print
as graphic images of the visual character.This enables embossing of visual
print characters. More information about the fonts included can be found on
your installation CD in the Tiger/Docs folder.

MathType by Design Science can be used
with the Tiger fonts for producing spatial math equations. More information on
MathType can be found on the ViewPlus website. |
