It may contain errors. The following maps the querty keyboard to braille dots number positions: f-1,d-2,s-3,j-4,k-5,l-6. The space character or semi-colin is used to advance the cursor horizontally. It is possible that my mapping is incorrect or non-standard. This "font" is unique, because pressing s d f j k , or l does not actually advance the cursor. I dub this an "additive font". It may lead to irrational behavior in certain text editors.An%20attempt%20to%20replicate%20a%20six%20key%20Braille%20entry%20system%2C%20as%20described%20here%3A%20http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dotlessbraille.org%2Fbraillewritingmethods.htm%23sixkeyentry%20.%20It%20may%20contain%20errors.%20The%20following%20maps%20the%20querty%20keyboard%20to%20braille%20dots%20number%20positions%3A%20f-1%2Cd-2%2Cs-3%2Cj-4%2Ck-5%2Cl-6.%20The%20space%20character%20or%20semi-colin%20%20is%20used%20to%20advance%20the%20cursor%20horizontally.%20It%20is%20possible%20that%20my%20mapping%20is%20incorrect%20or%20non-standard.%20This%20%22font%22%20is%20unique%2C%20because%20pressing%20s%20d%20f%20j%20k%20%2C%20or%20l%20does%20not%20actually%20advance%20the%20cursor.%20I%20dub%20this%20an%20%22additive%20font%22.%20It%20may%20lead%20to%20irrational%20behavior%20in%20certain%20text%20editors.

Because Katakana are usually romanized to two English letters, IE "ka","se","te" I made a "subtractive font". When one types the letter "k", the characters for "ka","ki","ku","ke", and "ko" appear. Then, when one types a vowel, a,e,i,o or u, a mask is applied that blocks out opposing vowel combinations. For the Katakana representing a i u e or o, just type the capital vowel.This%20is%20a%20work%20in%20progress%20to%20produce%20a%20font%20capable%20of%20printing%20common%20katakana%20characters%20from%20Japanese.%20Because%20Katakana%20are%20usually%20romanized%20to%20two%20English%20letters%2C%20IE%20%22ka%22%2C%22se%22%2C%22te%22%20I%20made%20a%20%22subtractive%20font%22.%20When%20one%20types%20the%20letter%20%22k%22%2C%20the%20characters%20for%20%22ka%22%2C%22ki%22%2C%22ku%22%2C%22ke%22%2C%20and%20%22ko%22%20appear.%20Then%2C%20when%20one%20types%20a%20vowel%2C%20a%2Ce%2Ci%2Co%20or%20u%2C%20a%20mask%20is%20applied%20that%20blocks%20out%20opposing%20vowel%20combinations.%20For%20the%20Katakana%20representing%20a%20i%20u%20e%20or%20o%2C%20just%20type%20the%20capital%20vowel.
