Re: Henle Music font

[tisimst]

Thanks so much for your kind words! 

I think you are right about how much easier it is now, but in all fairness to Han-wen, et al, who created Emmentaler, I didn't have to parametrically define the glyphs. I understand how much effort goes into defining equations like that correctly. 

I should mention that I have to still get a glyph for the C-clef (it uses the default one at the moment, and the TAB-clef), but I thought those who were anxious to use it could try it out. 

Regards,

Abraham

Thanks! I find it amazing how fast you release one new font after the
other! I think it took years to design the standard LilyPond fonts. And it
makes me wonder how much work it has been to design good looking fonts
before computers were introduced to typeset and engrave sheet music...
