TAB Font
I'm looking at using Font Forge to make a bold font for tablature. To this end, can anyone tell me which Windows 10 font MS 3 users for numeric tab?
The font is selected here in MS but there is no Windows font with this name:

It is built into MuseScore
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/blob/master/fonts/fonts_tablatur…, which refers to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/blob/master/fonts/mscoreTab.ttf, https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/blob/master/fonts/FreeSans.ttf and https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/blob/master/fonts/FreeSerif.ttf

The XML file looks like it defines the font family and character set config whilst the TTF files are the actual font definitions. By being "built in" does this mean that these TTFs are embedded as data in the MS program or that they are stored on the computer somewhere other than the usual Windows font folder?

2. Have you considered the license consequences (see for example this stackexchange post)

(Alternatively I could make a bold font covering only the needed TAB digits of 0 - 9

But if you're compiling yourself, why not actually attempt to fix (1) to allow a user to select any font from its system instead?

From what I understand it's not so much fixing the selector but implementing the rendering of the TAB. Since this will be for my own use I just need a quick workaround fix.
