If the latter, please make sure to install a unicode braille font, such
as ubraille.ttf from http://yudit.org/download/fonts/UBraille/, by
copying it into c:\windows\fonts.

Unfortunately NVDA only sends braille to brltty. Backtranslating into
text would get strange results when showing contracted braille or
non-latin text. Dave, perhaps we could still want to try to do some of
it?

Also, perhaps we should ship and install ubraille.ttf actually (it's
GPL).
