This is very nice! Please pardon a stupid question, but i failed to
find which
place in the code is responsible for this. Could you give me a
pointer? The user interface is simply an optional argument (default 1) in the font-spec-list. Internally, it works as follows: Each Pango font description carries a size value. Not sure how to call it - design size, preferred size? Anyway, the string given by the user as a font specification is appended by some size which is computed as 12pt * global-factor [last arg of make-[expert/pango]-font-tree] * per-font-factor [optional arg in font-spec-list] The effect is a different output scale for each font.

That's something i'm interested in. Most probably i won't have enough
time to
tackle it soon, but someday i'd really like to implement such a
feature! I have no idea how hard or easy this is. An interesting side effect is that probably the list of available (OpenType) font features like expert ligatures, old style figures etc. can easily be accessed at the same time, and I hope that it is possible to make them available to the user as well. But that's much more involved than just make-expert-font-tree. https://codereview.appspot.com/108700043/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
