Which Abobe Type fonts should I use for Braille?

      Correct answer Imaginerie

      I can't seem to find any, there is no entry for braille in the "writing system" filter so I assimed there are either non-existent and non listed (none comes up with "braille" in the search box but I assume you already tried that 🙂 )
      However I can see a lot are available for free and there is nothing stopping you from uploading fonts on your CC, to be used in online software like - say - adobe express.

       

      One of the easiest way would be to open your CC app, go to "manage fonts"

       

      go to uploaded fonts (on the left) and follow the instructions from there.

      Of course you'll need to have downloded the font files on your computer first.

      Atkinson is also available on Google fonts

      I agree it's missing!

      Hi @Audrey258313886fce,

       

      Welcome to the community! I would like to inform you that Adobe Fonts helps you find fonts matching the text used in images. You can select a font displayed in the search results to immediately add it. Please check this article for more info: https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/visual-search-adobe-fonts.html

       

      Let us know if that helps.

       

      Regards,

      Tarun

        Seems crappy that Adobe can't provide at least one free Braille font. You could help blind folks by making text more accessible.
