Re: problem overriding fonts

[Kevin Barry]

Hi Joram,

I am not sure why \bold and \italic aren't working in your example, but you can still use overrides within the markup blocks to get what you want, e.g.

\markup { Andante \override #'(font-name . "Century Schoolbook L italic") con }

If you will be doing the override frequently you can make a function for it:

#(define-markup-command (centuryItalic layout props text)

   (markup?)

   (interpret-markup layout props

     (markup #:override '(font-name . "Century Schoolbook L italic") text )))

and then use \centuryItalic instead of \italic.

I hope that makes sense,

Kevin

Hi,

I want to use a different font in general (titles, lyrics, etc.) but keep
Century Schoolbook L for some parts like MetronomeMarks and BarNumbers.
How can I do that without loosing the ability to choose the font weight/shape in
the markup using \bold, \italic or \medium?

\version "2.18.2"

\paper {
  fonts = #
  (make-pango-font-tree
   "Linux Libertine O"
   "Linux Biolinum O"
   "Ubuntu Mono"
   (/ (* staff-height pt) 2.5))
}

{
  \tempo \markup { Andante \italic con \bold moto \medium etc } a1^"good as
before with Century S. but I want a different font" \break
  \override Score.MetronomeMark.font-name = #"Century Schoolbook L"
  \tempo \markup { Andante \italic con \bold moto \medium etc } a1^"bad: not
bold by default, ignores bold and italic" \break
  \override Score.MetronomeMark.font-name = #"Century Schoolbook L bold"
  \tempo \markup { Andante \italic con \bold moto \medium etc } a1^"bad: ignores
medium and italic"
}
