Hi, Jasmine,
I'm sending my answer to you and to the list so others can learn, too.
Besides, I don't know what keyboard you have, so if you have a bt
keyboard, someone on the list could tell you and others what the bt
commands are.
When you open a document someone has given you, you won't know what fonts
are in it so you'll have to guess and search for each font individually.
To locate a font, use the search command. Press read with f f for a
forward search or read with f b for a backward search. Then press control
t. You will get a prompt asking you for the one you want to search for.
Type the letter b for bold, i for italic or u for underline. The next
prompt will be "on or off" Press the letter n for on and f for off. The
cursor will jump to the first font or you will hear the "font not found"
message.
The slower way to locate fonts is to put your BN in editing mode and read
the document one display length at a time. When you read, you will notice
all the format indicators. They will all begin with a computer braille
dollar sign.
Here is a list of some of them:
$l soft line break.
$p hard return, new line.
$f new page.
$fsb bold on.
$feb bold off.
$fsi italic on.
$fei italic off.
$fsu underline on.
$feu underline off.
$t tab.
$i indent.
$lge English language.
$lgs Spanish language.
$g0 computer braille.
$g2 grade 2 braille.
$g1 grade 1 braille.
$c centered line.
$h heading.
$fr flush right.
I hope this helps.
