Hello,
There used to be a hot-metal font called "Tonic sol-fa" that was
available from Riscatype (a foundry in Wales with an office in Fleet
Street, London, that supplied mainly Monotype faces). The type came in
one size only, 10 point. It wasn't a monospaced font, but the individual
characters had one of only four different widths, which enabled music to
be set in a sort of tabular form.
The questions that follow from this are
1. Has anyone heard of a digitization of this font?
2. Does anyone know where I can get it?
Any information will be appreciated.
Best wishes, and thanks in advance.
