Hello folks,
I've been dabbling a bit with Composer trying out some things, doing exercises, and looking at others people's composer works, and I have been delighted with what I have found so far. I haven't been trained musically but I have been interested in the study of music for a long time.
I was exploring the resources Composer has including the boxmarks font which somebody recently wrote about here in this forum. I imagine that the people credited with the font are users of the software and this is encouraging.
As an example, I used the font in Microsoft Word and typed out characters to see what they were. I found that they were all recognizable symbols. But I couldn't find how to add them to my music in Composer. They weren't under any of the menus or buttons. Do I have to buy this font? Will it work with the registered version?
Thank you for you efforts.

Ray, the boxmarks font includes instructions on how to use it in the ZIP file. This, and other fonts, can be used in NWC by:
1) installing them on your system
2) in NWC, select a font in the File | Page Setup | Fonts area, specifically User 1 though 6
3) use symbols from the font via the Insert | Text Expression
You can find other fonts at the user sponsored NWC Scriptorium (http://nwc-scriptorium.org/).
