Re: Numero sign

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi David,

You have to look at the serif font family you have on your computer.

E.g.:

%%

\version "2.20.0"
\markuplist {
  \override #'(font-name . "Garamond") "№"
  \override #'(font-name . "Garamond bold") "№"
  \override #'(font-name . "Linux Libertine G") "№"
  \override #'(font-name . "Source Serif Pro") "№"
  \override #'(font-name . "Source Serif Pro Semibold") "№"
  \override #'(font-name . "Source Serif Pro Semibold") "№"
  \override #'(font-name . "Times New Roman") "№"
}

%%

HTH, cheers,

Pierre

Perhaps a bit off-topic but here goes:

I want to use the 'numero' sign.  I can do it in two or three different ways but I have not found a way to get the version/typeface I'm after.  The one I want is the old fashioned style with the curved bulbous serifs on the legs of the N at the lower left and upper right corners.  An example can be seen on the last line of the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article linked below.

Thanks,

David
