This is actually more of a general LaTeX question than a LilyPond question. A starting point is the documentation of the teTeX system, just write the command 'texdoc TETEXDOC' to view it and look at the section on 'Using Postscript type 1 fonts'. I searched around at CTAN (www.ctan.org or any of its mirror sites) and found some more instructions, for example ftp://ctan.cms.math.ca/tex-archive/info/TrueType/ttf-tetex.pdf and ftp://ctan.cms.math.ca/tex-archive/info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf
Once you have managed to use a font in an ordinary LaTeX document,
it should not be difficult to include it in a LilyPond score.
Use
\header{
latexpackages = "mypackage"
}
where you would use
\usepackage{mypackage}
in LaTeX. If you need some LaTeX command to access a font,
just insert the command in the text string to LilyPond but
replace every '\' with '\\', for example
title = "\\myspecialfont{sjdfoijwer}"
or
c^"\\myspecialfont{oiwnerkwerisf}"Good luck!

Hello, all --
Sorry if this is a "RT(F)M" question, but I *did* RT(F)M -- and even searched the list archive a bit -- and still don't quite understand what I need to do... ;-)
I want to use (for titles, tempo indications, score markings, etc.) fonts that I have in Type 1 (Postscript) and TrueType format. How do I make them available to Lilypond?
Any assistance (e.g. a link to a how-to guide) would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kieren.
