Re: Installing Alternate Music Fonts with Frescobaldi and Homebrew Installation on M1 Mac

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Jesse,

I cannot say anything for sure (lacking a mac to try this on), but 
theoretically you just need to find the folder homebrew installs the packages 
to (according to the internet /usr/local/Cellar), find the folder for lilypond 
and and put the fonts into share/lilypond/current/fonts/

Cheers,
Valentin
