I've seen this a few days ago but no time to reply, sorry. >> I ran into an issue with font rendering in Lilypond where text >> characters are far too large. This issue also affected several >> other users and is described here >> <https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=211350>. It turns out >> that if the dpi setting is manually set in the fontconfig >> fonts.conf file, Lilypond will adopt that dpi setting (rather than >> the standard setting used in Lilypond, which is 1200) and render >> all text too large. > > Before I create an issue on the tracker, some developer should say > if LilyPond or LXQT must be fixed. I have no idea about it. I think it's a lilypond bug, since setting a DPI value is for stuff that goes to the screen and/or a selected printer, but lilypond should produce stuff that does not depend on the DPI. >> I also have a proposed patch that fixes the problem described, >> although I don't know if this is the proper way to fix it: [...] Me neither, unfortunately, since I have never worked with Pango. However, your patch looks reasonable. >> I also created a minimal Pango example that reproduces the bug here >> <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40325159/why-is-the-font-map-resolution-reset-when-using-fontconfig-2-11-94>. Have you already reported the problem to the fontconfig people? Maybe they can give more advice.
