Thanks. [I got errors error after pasting it at the top of
feta-schrift.mf, but it works when pasted at the bottom of the file;
it uses x-y definitions that are left-over from the arpeggio, I fear.]
Actually, these looks rather nice. I've seen examples of arrows (in
Stone) that are a lot longer (about twice as long) and (thus)
`leaner', `pointier'.
But that's only one source; as far as I'm concerned these would be
fine too, except for some nitpicks:
* Something goes wrong at the tip of the arrow, it's flat instead of
`sharp'; it should be as sharp as the `feathers' of the arrow are.
* There are very sharp edges where the arrowhead touches the
arpeggio squiggle, ideally this should be blot-diameter-round
Of course, the left-over x/y value bug should be fixed; and it would
also be nice if you would separated-out the real arrow-head part; I've
seen the same arrow-head been used on top of glissando lines.
Greetings,
Jan.
