The idea might be the same as for Hershey fonts which I just finished writing a
support for. Hershey fonts are vector graphics, so they can be scaled well.
This means, you'd have to "vectorize" the notes yourself.
If, however, you do not need scaling, you might just take bitmaps from the
available Type 1 or TTF fonts.
