I've been working on a very small piece of LaTex (with musixtex)
code
to create scale tablature. I'm using a clef based on fracture
gothic
but in comparison, it is a little heavy for my taste and I'd
like to
either duplicate the Lilypond TAB clef or similar. Hence my
question.
If it is based on a font, which one? If not I'll continue to
examine
similar fonts in my collection. I've no idea what you mean by
'the
real question', but this is pretty much it…
Do you need a real duplicate, or just close?
The general style of font you’d be looking for is a chancery
italic, for example TeX Gyre Chorus or something along those
lines. IMO that style - I just mean the idea of using
vertically-set all-caps chancery italic, I’m not blaming any
certain font - is ugly as can be, but it IS what seems to get used
most of the time and therefore what people have come to expect. If
I had my own choice to make it look better, I’d pick a very boring
bold sans-serif like bold Helvetica or whatever, but that’s not
what people are used to.
