The triangle in JazzFont is not *that* badly designed. (The diminished
circle, on the other hand... oy.)
But by far the biggest problem is people not making it large enough
(pun unintended). JazzCord suffixes need to be *at least* 24 points,
and some of the geometric characters need to be 30 points.

I find the argument that "a triangle is easy to mistake for a

you're doing it wrong.
I agree with your last sentence, but take it up with Rich Sigler and
people who use the JazzCord font (and also those who scrawl chord
progressions on cocktail napkins during the bass solo). Those
triangles are mighty round and puffy and take a couple of looks the
first time.
Speaking of readability, I am utterly underwhelmed by the new
Broadway font. Any defenders out there?
I am seriously thinking of putting my own chord symbol and text font
together that fits better with the JazzFont. Maybe this summer.
Then again, maybe pigs will fly first. Whoops, what was that? Swine
flew? 8-)
