I upped the swap file to 3G and tried reducing the number of fonts by using this function:
make-pango-font-tree That got it past the font loading, but still while processing uses up all memory and finally aborts with bad_alloc error. Do you have any suggestions of how to debug this requirement for so much memory? ---- \paper { #(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree "Times New Roman" "Nimbus Sans" "Luxi Mono" (/ staff-height pt 20))) } \relative c'{ c1-\markup { roman, \sans sans, \typewriter typewriter. } } ---- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
