Re: Making Feta number glyphs monospaced (tabular)
Hello Karol! I was thinking of changing side bearings only. I looked into *.mf files of Feta and noticed that there is some kerning data applied to number glyphs. So I would: 1) remove kerning 2) set the same glyph width for all numbers. Any progress? And I wonder how time signatures like 12/16 are aligned in Baerenreiter, Peters scores. I own none of these editions and it can be hard to answer that as time signatures like 12/16 are fairly rare. Try to find an engraving of Bach's 5th French Suite (in G major, BWV 816); the Gigue uses a 12/16 time signature. Another example, also using a 12/16 signature, is the 11th variation in the Goldberg variations, BVW 988.

I would consider modifying Feta number glyphs so that each of them have the same width. Any thoughts on this? Basically, I don't object. Slightly stretching or squeezing the glyphs horizontally shouldn't be noticeable, I think. However, have you checked (old) scores from Bärenreiter, Peters, UE, etc., whether those numerals really have the same width? I guess that manually engraved digits have a natural deviation in positioning much larger than what you demonstrate (using an extreme magnification).
