I wanted to know if all systems had at least sharp/flat unicode glyphs out of the box as macs do.
as macs *currently* do.in general i wouldn't extrapolate too much from your current system to future or past system (though in the specific case, i guess it's probably safe to assume that 𝄪 and 𝄫 won't go away.
apart from that: the only guaranteed font to be available on Windows and Linux is "DejaVu Sans Mono" (and if the font-renderer weren't broken on macOS, you could count on that font too). open the ttf-file with a font manager program and inspect it to see, which glyphs it natively supports.
and it looks like it has (single) sharp and flat signs, but not double ones.
Other symbols would be great too but I see we can't guarantee. So, now that support is granted, I did ask if there was an easy and free font for musical unicode symbols that we can all install. A perfect and ideal scenario would be for Pd to carry one and ship it, but that might be aiming too high on my dreams:)
that doesn't actually sound perfect and ideal to me. fonts are generally large, and i would consider 𝄪 and 𝄫 to be edge cases.i don't think i ever needed them; your use-case might of course be different, but i don't think we should target at satisfying each and every usecase out of the box.
