I traded my old cutter for an engraver and am starting to get some work for it. Now I need to know where to get the grade 2 braille font that I can use. I will be glad to pay for it, I just dont know where to get it. The only option I see are modules for software I dont have. I am use Dr. Engrave which is cheezy but its a start. Any help would be great!!!

Duxbury systems sells braille translators and fonts. They advertise in sign magazines.
Getting the font may or may not solve your problem. The font will allow you to print the font, but how are you going to cut it? The braille font in our engraver has all the cut lines worked out as part of the font. If you are going to cut island fills, you are going to find that this can be painfully slow. What engraving machine do you have?
