Re: Lilypond 2.6 still not rendering text

[Mats Bengtsson]

The font handling has been completely reimplemented from version 2.4 to
2.6 so you cannot expect your font setting commands from 2.4 to work
out of the box in version 2.6. See the NEWS file for 2.6, the new manual
and the "font-name.ly" example in the Regression Test document for more
information and examples.
