Also check out Adobe's Tekton font. I started using it for chord symbols and numbers before the hand look fonts came along and it is more readable especially at smaller point sizes.
Vince Leonard Invinceable Entertainment Media PA www.invinceableentertainment.com << Following Chris Smith's advice, I re-downloaded the Sibelius Demo and checked out their Inkpen font set, in the hopes that the numbers would be more legible than JazzFont's, while maintaining the "handwritten" look. When I tried the font, I remembered why I hated it in the first place. The numbers *are* more legible than JazzFont (it would be hard to be worse), but they are too oblique, too wide, and too stylized for my taste. However, after a bit of web searching, I found a couple of good fonts designed for comic book lettering. The numbers in these fonts aren't perfect (what is?) but IMO they are much better than either JazzFont or Inkpen.
