can you advise on a font with gregorian neumes that might work on windows

which seem to generate their characters themselves, without any font
involved.

I don't know their font, but they have a test font you can download:

Beware, though!
"The font requires MS Windows 3.1 or higher" !!!
Leaves one wondering when the page was last updated...

Yes, I've used the St. Meinrad fonts
successfully. As I recall you create neumes by
connecting individual notes, but it's been a
while since I used them. They are not, however,
"fonts" in the sense we usually use. They are
designed not to be used within a notation program
but in, e.g., a program like Word. And be warned
that they take over your keyboard and you have to
relearn the placement of all the signs on all the
keys.
I was reverse-engineering some music by Hildegard
back to chant notation, and discovered that even
by switching clefs the program would not cover
the entire wide range of her music!
