I don't know how to make a compound glyph. Perhaps ChrisL s> can make a recommendation. Note that, unlike say TrueType, there is no requirement that glyph paths in SVG are a single non-intersecting shape. Even in SVG Tiny, you can have a self-intersecting and disjoint shape. In SVG Full you can put anything as a child of a glyph that you could put as a child of a g. So, in your example above, if you already had paths with ids on for the three glyphs, you could make a compound glyph with three use elements plus any transforms needed to position and size them relative to one another. >> if this is the way I am still stuck with the symbols that are not >> unique to music but not standard for regular fonts. s> Yup.

Yes, PUA is another possibility. -- Chris Lilley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group ------------------------ Yahoo!
