I want to modify one of the standard Mac fonts by adding the musical
sharp and flat characters so that I can make lyric sheets for songs 
with guitar chords.  I can currently fake these characters by using the
pound sign and lower case b, but for both aesthetic and legibility
reasons would prefer to do the job right.

I have copies of two shareware font editors (FontEdit and Font Editor),
but both of them bomb or hang when run on my unmodified Mac+ with
external floppy.  Does anyone in netland have either:

1)	A decent looking font containing the characters in question
or
2)	A shareware or public domain font editor that will work on
	my machine.

If you can help me it will surely be a sign of your good karma.
(You can tell I come from California, even if I'm not serious)
