Is this what they use on

It seems to me that this is exactly the accidentals.flat.slash
character in
Lilypond's feta font:

font
[For some reason, the glyphs do not show in Safari - Firefox is fine,
though.]
In this case, you don't have to draw the glyph yourself, just use
this glyph
instead of accidentals.mirroredflat for a quarter-flat tone!
I think so, too, though the design of the half-flat at Maqam World is
somewhat denser.
The Persian koron and sori are amiss, though there are some Turkish
accidentals.
Timidity can retune MIDI-files (with the -Z option), which can be
created using Scala, and also, I have written a Haskell program
creating such retuning files for 53-ET, in case somebody wants to
experiment with LilyPond MIDI files.
Looking back, LilyPond has some microtone capabilities, but I do not
know how it works. Is there some info available about it somewhere?
