From glyphs to gifs for clefs and braces
- a prelude to getting rid of the musicalsymbols font -
by stealing it.
First we get some nice big glyphs onscreen, so they can be captured with alt-PrntScrn. My MS Paint (with XP - yeah, thanks MS) doesn't do transparent gif-images, but they can be converted in MS Photoed, as well as in several nonMS products.
(More of this to be found in booty.)

font-size: 30px - too small

font-size: 60px - might be big enough for the braces. Images bra.gif and ket.gif (a gift from P. A. M. Dirac.frs) were made from the glyph that follows the c-clef.

font-size: 90px - big enough for f-clef and c-clef
the second one is the copy

font-size: 120px - needed this for the g-clef.

Hmmm - IE7 messes up the printing of this and Firefox messes up the viewing. Browsers hate great big glyphs, and sometimes they are a bit testy about tall inline images too.
