Hi,
I'd like to typeset various symbols (as examples included in normal
text lines) from musical notation from the 14th century
("Mensuralnotation"). These symbols can be seen in
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf
I just have absolutely no idea e.g. which font these symbols support ...
Could someone show me a way?
Thanks,
Steffen

Some fast googling found this: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/readme-of.txt http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/old-feta.tar.gz For just a few symbols using these fonts directly should do, but if you want to typeset music you probably should be using lilypond.

Hi Steffen, You might want to have a look at this font: http://openfontlibrary.org/media/files/Eimai/191 (though I'm not sure this font covers all the symbols you need.) A good resource for finding fonts is: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html HTH, Jelle ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

If I remember correctly there was a talk at TUG'04 (in Greece!) about that (but I doubt the devised macro package was Unicode-compliant).
