Hi Abraham,

\version "2.19.14"
\transpose c c'
{
% default (Century Schoolbook)
\tuplet 3/2 { a8 a a }
% bold (Century Schoolbook) - closer to Bravura
\override TupletNumber.font-series = #'bold
\tuplet 3/2 { a a a }
% from Emmentaler (bold numbers) - your suggestion
\override TupletNumber.font-encoding = #'fetaText
\override TupletNumber.font-size = #-4
\tuplet 3/2 { a a a }
% tuplet number from Bravura (U+E883) - what I wanted!
\override TupletNumber.font-name = "Bravura"
\override TupletNumber.font-size = #3.5
\override TupletNumber #'text = "ξΆƒ"
\tuplet 3/2 { a a a }
}
This example shows four different tuplet numbers. The last one is what I
wanted: the dedicated Bravura tuplet number on code point U+E883.
To achieve that I had to put Bravura in /usr/share/fonts. I was
wondering why installing it under Ubuntu does not work and copying into
/usr/share/fonts of the LP directory structure does not work, neither.
A real solution would be if this number would be calculated
automatically. But I couldn't get it to work:
\override TupletNumber #'text = #(integer->char
(+ 59520 (tuplet-number::calc-denominator-text)))
I am trying that out, because it would help to get a consistent style
for the new fonts including the text font part.

Just to share what I found yesterday:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/DubielPlain
But I am not really convinced (there are some irregularities e.g. in the
letter a).

I will be interested whenever it gets ready.
