Wow, this brings me back... I got my start millions of years ago with Softy, a shareware TTF font editor created to design music fonts. Took a long time before I decided to try designing fonts myself.
OK, enough archeology. Musescore is a free scoring program that comes with a variety of excellent fonts designed specifically for sheet music. It's a rather comprehensive solution.
In terms of typesetting for classical music, lilypond is quite good. I think the font they created for it is called feta. Rosegarden and denemo also use the feta font.
