It looks like a really good idea to me. The only question to me is: how can be made use of these unicode features? As far as I understand some basic featueres are implemented already, but there is no easy way to specify them in the .ly file yourself. I would, for instance, like toFolks, the TeX-Gyre project (financially supported mainly by the German TeX Users' Group, DANTE) is developing replacements for the set of common URW fonts. The project isn't finished yet, but already now the glyph repertoire has almost doubled, compared to the set of glyphs currently in Century Schoolbook (and many, many errors especially in the Cyrillic block have been fixed). As an additional benefit, the fonts are directly available as full-featured OpenType fonts (this is, they come with a large bunch of OpenType features). While the metrics are slightly different (due to improvements), the overall shapes of the glyphs are almost identical.
specify old style numbers somtimes...Do the metrics make additional affords? Are they somehow hard coded into the program? Isn't it also easily possible to change the font and have it with its proper metrics loaded?
What use would the pfb fonts have? The svg seems to be a good thing if they will then be includedPS: Two questions in case you think the above is a good idea: Shall we distribute SVG and PFB versions of TeXGyreSchola?
in a correct way into the lilypond svg files. So far my thoughts Greetings Till
