I have been trying to use musical symbols with the jit.gl.text object. I have the unicode table to look up the symbols and using 'Bravura' (because it's music compatible?) I navigate to 119065 - then into [itoa] then [prepend text]. In a message box I can see the symbol for the 5 lines of the western stave, but it does not show up in by jit.world. Other text/ symbols using the same method works fine. I have attached an example patch of the problem ... is there a way to get jit.gl.text to recognise musical symbols?

I believe jit.gl.text is limited to unicode values less than 65535. we can take a look at removing this limitation, but in the meantime I think you are better off using jit.mgraphics for drawing, and then sending that matrix off to jit.gl.videoplane for display. I've got a basic example of this pasted below. you can use the font_extents values to figure out your positioning (or just trial and error).

Is there a way to change colour dynamically? I can only change the opacity? Also the aspect ratio looks strange. Finally can I use the same blend enable features?
