There are other known spacing issues with the Jazz font as well. For
example the symbols 67 and 99 ("common/cut time with bracket") have the
same advance width as the symbols without brackets (68/100) although
they are twice as wide. So when using the 67/99 symbols you might run
into note collisions that don't show up when using 68/100.
If you're looking for the JazzText Extended font with a working è, you
could also try the free installation of OnlineSheetMusic viewer (
http://www.onlinesheetmusic.com/download.aspx ). When I downloaded it a
few months ago, all jazz fonts were installed- and the è was available.
But be careful: it might overwrite the existing jazz font installations.
