altglyph??

PUA? what is PUA? ---------------------------- all this disscussion aside I need a high quality music font with unicode encodings. which is my best bet. 1. make one from scratch 2. find a font that is unicoded encoded and has music and somehow substute the feta glyphs that are possible to replace and leave the others. Is there such a font. 3. encode as much of feta as is possible and then create the other glyphs 4. other? currently lilyxml is creating convertors to have lilypond(tex) process the music. A project goal is to produce output using xml tools, I gather the limiting factor here is a svg font with the proper unicode encodings. Can someone lay out in plain english what we need to do to acheive this? Thanks Aaron lilyxml ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads.
