And just so things are all clear, if the system has it, Pd will load it
just fine, right?

Not sure about the other systems, But macs seem to have it by default. This
thread is meant to also ask if people can just see these characters by
default.

I guess the way to make sure is to suggest people to install fonts with the
glyph if they need. I was able to install *bravura*, but it was a bit
tricky. Not sure of any other font with such unicode characters to suggest.

I guess I can have a "-unicode" flag for the object that uses these fancier
characters and then I'll document what's the deal with it.

In general, these can be very useful. Now that I have bravura, I have nice
symbols such as notes, rests, and all musical things we can use for a nice
interface.

cheers
