OpenType fonts for Znamenny Notation
OpenType шрифты для знаменной нотации
This repository provides fonts for typesetting Znamenny and other related Slavic neumatic music notations systems (Demestvenny, Put, Kondakarian).
All fonts provide necessary OpenType features and supply PostScript (.otf) outlines for glyphs. Note that support for SIL Graphite features has been discontinued.
Znamenny and related notation systems have been accepted for encoding in version 14 of Unicode. The proposed codepoints are specified in the proposal. These codepoints have been approved by the UTC, but may still change before the release of Unicode 14.0.
