how about adding such top level links to the wiki (some font resource page)
I have added the link to the page "Fonts by Unicode character range" to 
the main Fonts page (

  It's part of Unicode, that's why.  If I remember correctly there was a
talk at TUG'04 (in Greece!) about that (but I doubt the devised macro
package was Unicode-compliant).

Hi Steffen,

You might want to have a look at this font: 
http://openfontlibrary.org/media/files/Eimai/191 (though I'm not sure 
this font covers all the symbols you need.)

A good resource for finding fonts is: 
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html

HTH,

Jelle

Some fast googling found this:

http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/readme-of.txt
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/old-feta.tar.gz

For just a few symbols using these fonts directly should do, but if
you want to typeset music you probably should be using lilypond.

Best wishes,
Taco

[NTG-context] 14th century music ("Mensuralnotation")

2007-10-23 Thread Steffen Wolfrum
Hi,

I'd like to typeset various symbols (as examples included in normal  
text lines) from musical notation from the 14th century  
("Mensuralnotation"). These symbols can be seen in

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf

I just have absolutely no idea e.g. which font these symbols support ...


Could someone show me a way?


Thanks,

Steffen
