No objection in using music fonts, on the contrary, and I just wanted to know what is a good/easy one to tell people to install.
It seems the best and easy ones to install I found so far is FreeSerif and Symbola.
I mentioned Bravura as the only one I found out there, not sure about any
other option.
Bravura was a pain to install, seems more powerful I guess? But FreeSerif and Symbola get the job done more easily.
My mind is blown with how many symbols this font (DejaVu) has, I had no
idea, I thought it only had the most usual ones and everything else came from "the system". This actually happens with the bass clef that I can see. I don't see it in DejaVu (or Menlo), so where is it coming from?
Ok, I know it's coming from somewhere else, and that's not the point. Maybe a better question is to just make sure that this indeed happens (that the Pd will look elsewhere in your fonts to see if you have a bass clef or whatever else is missing in DejaVu). I just wanna get this straight, how it happens and if it happens in all operating systems, before I tell people that they can just install something like symbola that they'll be able to display whole notes and whatnot in iemguis' labels.
