MacOS X has this weird scheme where data can be stored in different "forks" (IIRC resource or data fork). This makes it look as if the file has 0-bytes lenght, but the data is actually somewhere else in the filesystem. Can you check if this is the case for verdana? ls -l /Library/Fonts should tell you whether this the case. In any event, fondu should work with all types of mac dfonts. In any event, maybe should we ship a sans-serif font too, so chord names have uniform appearance across platforms. Any suggestions which would be the best font? -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
