RE: [gtk-list] Re: Music fonts

I definitely need scaling.  So, how would I go about setting up a font and
"vectorizing" the notes?  Can I look at what you've done with the Hershey
fonts?

Thanks

The idea might be the same as for Hershey fonts which I just finished
writing a
support for. Hershey fonts are vector graphics, so they can be scaled well.
This means, you'd have to "vectorize" the notes yourself.

If, however, you do not need scaling, you might just take bitmaps from the
available Type 1 or TTF fonts.
