Re: [Finale] The missing zero; WinFin 2004b

Hi Ken,
   I finally get a chance to help somebody on this great group. 
CombiNumerals (True Type) fonts are just your ticket. You can do a keyword 
to find it or I can send you a copy of them if you'd like. There is also 
'white numbers in black circles' but, I'm sure you want 'black numbers in 
white circles'. Let me know if you want me to send them to you.

Subject: [Finale] The missing zero; WinFin 2004b



To the wisdom of the list,

I am doing a classical guitar part - one staff with notes, rests, bar 
lines, numbers, numbers in circles, etc. You can sense I know nothing 
about classical guitar notation practice. The composer has carefully 
marked the numbers and numbers in circles.I just enter what I see. Oh, 
yes, I do know that numbers go beside noteheads, numbers in circles go off 
the ends of stems.


The Arial Narrow, 8 point, works perfectly for numbers in spaces between 
noteheads, which are tight much of the time. The problem is Arial has no 
number zero. Numbers in circles are not a problem. Is there another narrow 
sans serif font in the Windows world with a zero which is a good match for 
Arial Narrow that I can enter in 8 pt.? The upper or lower case letter o 
will not do, and I have  not the ability to build what I need from 
scratch, even though the zero is a rather simple geometric form.


I will be deeply indebted if you can provide a solution.

Ken

You must have a defective copy of the font file. Arial Narrow 
certainly does have a zero. (What font designer would make a font 
without one?) I've just verified this in several apps -- including WinFin2004b.


Try reinstalling the font from your Windows CD.

Aaron.

So, if you open a text box, and type the "0" from the keyboard, what 
displays in the text box?

What about an uppercase "O"; in Arial Narrow, would this look enough 
like a "0" to be usable, in a context where it would not be likely to be 
misinterpreted as an "O", anyway?
