Comment #2 on issue 1494 by percival.music.ca: including alternate fonts
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1494
I remain uncertain about including large binary files in the main git
repository. I think we'll need to come back to this after solving issue
980 and issue 1163.
That said, we could still add the *infrastructure* for including alternate
fonts right now. The idea is this:
1) add a
./configure --extra-font-dir=DIR
option.
2) the relevant files from that directory (.otf files? .mf files? what
type of font files are we talking about?) are copied into wherever lilypond
puts its fonts.
3) ... actually, I think that's about it.
Then once we've resolved issue 980 and issue 1163, we can look at having
an "official extra fonts" directory somewhere, which people could use if
they want. Granted, this wouldn't support having regtests for those fonts,
but it would make it easy to add those fonts to the official GUB binaries.
As such, we could see the jazz font (or whatever) being included in 2.15.0,
without needing to force an argument about GOP stuff right now.
