That means that we probably should be focusing about how we can get reasonable hinting for Feta. Tablets and/or electronic ink are becoming increasingly important players in music. <URL:http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57546915-1/orchestra-swaps-sheet-music-for-the-galaxy-note-10.1/> Now Feta has the advantage of following traditional music type shapes, and those are designed for low resolution anyway as stamping with a type does not really allow for integrated hairline shapes: fine lines have to be etched separately. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
