How to show Unicode characters on MS Windows?

[quique]

Thanks for your pointer

don't forget to include Dejavu (or any other font you want use for Braille) into your distribution package for Windows.

That must be done in the installer, right?
I just began developing my app, and didn't explore yet the available options (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, Inno Setup, WiX...).

I believe that Windows 7 includes Braille characters in its Segoe UI Symbol font, but that earlier versions do not. So you have some Windows versions that require a third party font, and others that don't There are some free fonts containing just the Braille patterns: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/font...raillepatterns

Thanks for your comment.
DejaVu Sans is actually doing the trick (tested on both Windows 7 and Windows XP).
