Refresh thread to bring up with new thread on same subject:

And:

The Symusic font does contain the music symbols requested, but I have not been able to find it in a listing of default fonts that most users are likely to have. It may be common, or it may have come with another program.

I have it, but I don't find it listed at Fonts supplied with Windows XP SP2.

It doesn't appear at Fonts that are installed with Office

For saving on one's own machine, in programs one has, or for printing on a local system, this font could be to used, and the characters are mapped to the ASCII character number range so even Win98 users should be able to see them. They can be entered easily using the Alt-NumPad method, but they'll display as g, h, i in in most fonts until the SyMus font is applied. Each instance of the musical character must be changed to the SyMusic font for the characters to appear, with the rest of the document left in whatever other font you choose since the SyMusic character set contains no "normal characters."

Once you've pasted and formatted one sample of a special character, you can of course copy and past it for multiple uses.

If used on the web, without applying the font each time the character appears using a font statement, individual readers would most likely see the "unk" rectangle or the g, h, i characters. Even if you "format" in a web post, readers who don't have the font will see something other than what you intend, so this is an "okay" method for documents you use at home, (compose, save, print on your own machine) but shouldn't be posted with the expectation that people will be able to read it.
