Comment 8 for bug 669102

very true, however there are several use cases for Braille, some of which are better served by a separate font. Grade 1 Braille covering the six dot pattern and with a literal translation of Latin ASCII A-Z and 1-9 would be understandable to Braille readers and useful in an educational context or for a sighted person unskilled in Braille transcription to create a template to make a simple sign or lable in Braille with a hammer and centre punch. I couldn't find a suitably licensed font to do this so I made a font last night to cover these use cases http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/LibertusBraille.ttf but this bug/enhancement gets the glyphs in the right place for the Ubuntu font to be used in typesetting Braille and doing it properly. I think Braille is one of those things that you can do easy, or do right, and it is probably best to do both.
