Since LilyPond uses low-level TeX commands to select the font, make sure
that it works in a LaTeX file similar to the following one:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\font\myfont=bcor8a scaled 1000
\begin{document}
\myfont a
\end{document}

Once that works (with feta20 replaced by your font), it should work
also with LilyPond.

Do you have the same problem if you manually create the PS and PDF from
the DVI?
dvips -Ppdf -u+lilypond myfile.dvi
ps2pdf myfile.ps

Using Lilypond 2.2.1:

I've created some TeX fonts out of TTF fonts. I'm using the font bcor8a; in my lilypond file, I have the lines:

      \override LyricText #'font-name = #"bcor8a"
      \override LyricText #'font-magnification = #1.5

The font is fine in the dvi file, but turns up as courier (which it isn't) in the ps and pdf files. I've even run each step separately, specifying a map file at the dvips stage. Still, I get a courier font.

The problem isn't limited to this font; when I specify an Arial font, I get a Helvetica font in the ps and pdf files.

I have no problem using these fonts in a standard LaTeX document; so I have to think that there is some step I'm missing in either writing or creating the lilypond source.

Any help appreciated.

Doug
