I have pushed the new font to git. You can see it on the notes and rests toolbar and in the Notes/Rests->xxx Duration menus and the tooltips for the help for these. For me, they are still way too small - perhaps inside LibreOffice they looked differently, or you just have better eyesight!
I think the glyphs need to be made into caricatures of the real music shapes, so that they are instantly distinguishable at the default font size. Big noteheads and short stems, and bulging out of the allowed space sideways if need be - we can always put spaces around them. Mostly also I think they need lifting up to be on the line - we can steal a bit of height by dropping some of them a bit below the line if needed (e.g. to get a lot of flags in). This is just my take on the appearance - I've attached one of the tooltips as an example, the little mark that looks a bit like a comma is actually a 1/8th rest in the new font. Let me know what you think, and anyone else is welcome to comment on what would be a good way forward.
