Well, yes. But if the thickness changed in some other way than now, it may look generally better across all resolutions. See attachment - on the left there is current natural. Middle is my first idea, and on the right is what i thought about after seeing your scan (because that's more or less how these accidentals look). Of course this is not any proposal to actually change the natural shape - it's just some food for thought. > IMO The right way to do this is seeing if you can add manual hints to > the OTF file.

I looked at Fontforge and tried doing this [1], but couldn't find my way around it, and i already have too much lilypond stuff on my head to spend lots of time on learning it. So, this will have to wait (unless someone else wants to do it - i could help him). best, Janek [1] i don't want to be a guy who only says "someone(TM) should do it".
