I am unsuccessfully trying to globally change the default text font that
is lilypond uses in its pdf output (title of the song, lyrics, etc.
I tried adding this statement at the top of my .ly input file
immediately after the version statement:
| \version "2.18.2"
|
| \paper {
| top-margin = 12
| #(define fonts
| (set-global-fonts
| #:roman "TeXGyreSchola"
| #:sans "TeXGyreHeros"
| #:typewriter "Terminus"
| ))
| }
or this:
|
| \paper {
| #(define fonts
| (make-pango-font-tree "TeXGyreSchola"
| "TeXGyreHeros"
| "Terminus"
| }
Whichever font(s) I specify I am still getting the same font. At
a glance, it looks like Microsoft's "Times New Roman", which is not
suited to my purpose.
This being on a linux system (debian stable) I have checked via
"fc-match TeXGyreSchola" commands (etc.) that the font(s) I specified
is(are) correctly recognized by fontconfig and that they are not
substituted.
Could this mean that the above only "defines" the fonts to the system
but that I also need to explicitly invoke them (so to speak) where
needed? Via "\override" commands, possibly...?
I am at a loss to understand how/where lilypond's default configuration
(including fonts) is defined on a linux system. I would have expected to
find some form of lilypond configuration file(s) in the /etc directory
but I have not found any.
Thanks,
CJ
