Fonts that support it include Bravura, Euterpe, FreeSerif, Musica and Symbola. The Standard Music Font Layout ( SMuFL ), which is supported by the MusicXML format, expands on the Musical Symbols Unicode Block's 220 glyphs by using the Private Use Area in the Basic Multilingual Plane, permitting close to 2600 glyphs.
Standard Music Font Layout, or SMuFL, is an open standard for music font mapping. [4] The standard [1] was originally developed by Daniel Spreadbury [4] [1] of Steinberg for its scorewriter software Dorico, [4] but is now developed and maintained by the W3C Music Notation Community Group, along with the standard for MusicXML (which, itself, supports SMuFL).
Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...

Charcoal was designed by David Berlow of Font Bureau, to be easier to read than Chicago, while retaining similar metrics for backward compatibility with existing application software. When released in 2001, Apple's iPod music player reused the Macintosh font Chicago as the system font
The font was created by Adobe and has its own character encoding, with the Greek letters arranged according to similar Latin letters (Chi = C, etc.).The document describing the mapping to Unicode code points [2] was created before several of the characters were added to Unicode, so the original mapping assigns several of the characters to the Private Use Area (PUA).
Fonts that use these mechanisms are commonly referred to as "Variable fonts". OpenType Font Variations re-introduces techniques that were previously developed by Apple in TrueType GX, and by Adobe in Multiple Master fonts. The common idea of these formats is that a single font includes data to describe multiple variations of a glyph outline ...
