its *basically* the same as with all font-rendering in all applications: the system will need to have a (compatible) font installed that has the glyph.
And just so things are all clear, if the system has it, Pd will load it just fine, right?
eg on my mobile phone, your double sharps and double flats don't render (there are just placeholder chars) - is there a way to make sure (as you want it) that a given glyph will show up on my phone? I don't think so.
Not sure about the other systems, But macs seem to have it by default. This thread is meant to also ask if people can just see these characters by default.
I guess the way to make sure is to suggest people to install fonts with the glyph if they need. I was able to install *bravura*, but it was a bit tricky. Not sure of any other font with such unicode characters to suggest.
I guess I can have a "-unicode" flag for the object that uses these fancier characters and then I'll document what's the deal with it.
In general, these can be very useful. Now that I have bravura, I have nice symbols such as notes, rests, and all musical things we can use for a nice interface.
