Hello,
I'm trying to find a suitable system font for use with some tablature
I'm
typesetting. The command "lilypond -dshow-available-fonts" does indeed
do
exactly that, but there are so many fonts on my system that this
command is
not helpful on its own. What I'd like is some way of searching the
font
list. For example, I'd hope to write that font list to a file, which I
could explore at leisure.
I'm using Linux, and normally I can redirect the output of a command to
a
file, such as
ls -l > list.txt
But this doesn't work with the lilypond font command. I'm quite
mystified
that the lilypond somehow ignores shell commands; at least in this
instance.
This same behaviour means I can't pipe the output of the font command
to
grep for searching.
How can I search the list of available fonts?
