Tom: Of course the first place I looked was the Special Characters/Character Pallette (I should have said so). It sounds like you're telling me how to design a font. I'm not a font person so I have no idea what a Last Resort Font, intelligent font file, Character Map, imgageable, or line layout support is and more importantly how they relate to my questions. Henrick: This is very interesting (and you obviously know what you're talking about) but not very helpful. Where can I find a font with graceful, engraved music characters but intended to be used as text?ģ) Why does it do that? The sharp and flats I use are the same size as the other characters in the regular font. I really should be using fonts that are spaced correctly. Even if I decrease the font size or superscript them, they take up too much space.ġ) How can I fix this with the fonts I'm using? I know how to set the exact spacing in Word, but am new to Pages.Ģ) Forcing the spacing is a kluge. When I use them in line, that is, a sentence in Times then switch fonts for one character, it screws up the spacing, making the line take up more space. There are plenty of music fonts, but it seems they are all designed for the particular notation program: Sibelius, Finale, Lime, Logic, etc. I do a lot of writing about music, and am looking for a better solution than using the pound sign and lower case B when referring to, e.g., C# and Eb. I've searched many music and computer music forums and can't find a music font that is designed for (or at least, will work correctly) with text documents.
