It would be cool to type + or -, or after a note, and have it move up or down in pitch. substitutions in order to mod the character mapping. Next quest is to make sense of ligatures vs. To resolve, all I did was open it in FontForge, and export it out to a real OpenType (.otf), and voila. otf, it still appears in the word processor with the TrueType icon and no ligatures. It's got the innards of it, but the file interpretation is wrong somehow. Word inanely keeps them off by default.Įven that doesn't work on its own, at least not with version 0.99 which is, what, a decade old now?
