From: LEVITT%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC.ARPA Where did you get the Music font? It looks great. I'd REALLY like to use it in completing my AI/music thesis, but a crucial part of it is MISSING! I suspect noone else has looked at the Music font carefully, or one would have noticed. It is evidently organized as follows: there is really just one SIZE for the music font, and Mac "Font Size" operations actually change the duration of the note: 9 pt -> whole note 10 pt -> half note ? 14 pt -> 8th note 18 pt -> 16th note Now we see it's quite significant that there was no 12 pt font on the disk - you can't make any quarter notes! (Of course, the "12 pt" menu option appears unoutlined, and when you use it you get squished 8th notes.) I also suspect that other characters (like the clefs) are hidden in the missing, default-"size" 12 pt music font. Why is it missing? Can I get it some how? David Levitt
