Re: Fonts for text

[Ignacio Lois]

Hi,

Thanks Ben and Noeck for your replies.

I'm running Frescobaldi 3.0.0 and I can't find Document Fonts under Tools. I'll check for a newer version

This is a minimal example that fails as described:

\version "2.19.83"

\header {
    title = \markup {
              \override #'(font-name "ITC Souvenir")
              "My Title"
            }
}

\score {
  c''

}

Thanks in advance.

Hello list,

I'm trying to use any font like these for my titles. I tried ITC Souvenir, which would look like this:

And Sunset-Serial, which would look like this:

But no matter how I set it in LilyPond, I get this:

The weirdest thing is that Frescobaldi acknowledges the existence of these fonts and even knows what they look like:

So here is my question: do fonts need to be of a special type to work? Am I doing something wrong or missing something? I don't know what to try anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Ignacio,

It appears that you've installed the fonts correctly if Frescobaldi can pick them up like that. Can you share some of your code, maybe there is a conflict somewhere?
