The November font was apparently designed with this in mind - on the relevant website <http://www.klemm-music.de/november/index_e.htm> they point out that inconsistencies have been incorporated into the font itself. A friend of mine has used November and it looked excellent - though whether it's worth the US$89 is a personal decision I suppose. But it may help the music to look less "mechanical"!
