Redundant Gabor frames admit an infinite number of dual frames, yet only the
canonical dual Gabor system, constructed from the minimal l2-norm dual window,
is widely used. This window function however, might lack desirable properties,
e.g. good time-frequency concentration, small support or smoothness. We employ
convex optimization methods to design dual windows satisfying the Wexler-Raz
equations and optimizing various constraints. Numerical experiments suggest
that alternate dual windows with considerably improved features can be found
