I think that Metafont is stil the way to go, otherwise the glyphs won't scale well across different staff sizes. Also, having the glyphs in a separate font with another format greatly complicates integration, and therefor testing. The result would be that this feature will be broken quickly and easily. > In any case, I guess you would at least need to have high-resolution > scans of hand-writings or printings (which should be sufficiently old in > order to not violate copyright laws). the latter is not a problem at all; font glyphs themselves are not copyrighted. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen LilyPond Software Design -- Code for Music Notation http://www.lilypond-design.com _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
