Greetings all. Software development project question here.
Anyone have the skinny on available fonts and licensing issues involved in
distributing those fonts? If there's a plethora, do you have a favorite,
and why is it your favorite.
I guess more importantly, since I assume most of the fonts are a 'lookup
assignment table' type system, if possible, we'd like to use a font that
a) gives a good clean overall screen and print appearance especially when
a user resizes layout, b) contains tons of symbols to satisfy any musical
whim, c) is available and somewhat similar in font-metrics across
platforms { mac, pc, X }
I guess I must be honest, that I've never looked closely at any of the
fonts distributed with my various music software packages. I'm sure
Finale's Maestro must be among the more actively developed available, but
it's probably among the more expensive to license, if indeed they license
it for use at all.
Trying not to reinvent the wheel here, so if anyone knows this info that
could help us get a jumpstart on development, we'd be greatful.
Thanks!
