Re: Extending feta font

[Mats Bengtsson]

You may be surprised to hear, but the Feta font has actually been designed
without a graphical interface. It's done using metafont which is a kind of
very weird programming language for specifying fonts.

Anyway, since version 2.6, LilyPond can handle virtually any font file that
you have on your computer so it shouldn't be hard to make your own font,
using a font design program with a graphical interface if you wish, and then
tell LilyPond to use that wherever you wish.
