[VIHUELA] Re: Typesetting scores

[Mjos & Larson]

Fontographer is good, and for some reason, hand tweaking the font  
bitmaps (I'm on a Mac and created PostScript fonts) helped the  
display in the Articulation window. This is probably not an issue for  
PC TrueType fonts.

FontLab is the newer program many professionals are now using. Very  
powerful, but also very dense.

Unless you want (or need) to open up or create OpenType fonts,  
Fontographer is generally easier and quite capable. The company who  
makes FontLab now owns Fontographer also.
