You could use this technique perhaps...
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/change-the-font-for-all-markups-td171730.html
Depends I guess on how you setup your document fonts and how many
markups you are wishing to change (all/one)...
Does this help?
The problem I am still having is getting pango or lilypond to
recognize the variant widths and weights of these pro line fonts. as
soon as I use \override #'(font-name . "Garamond Premier Pro Display")
nothing happens. It reverts to sans.
Does this help clarify? So it's still not working. :(
Make sure you have the font exactly correct, otherwise it defaults back
to sans :) Sometimes fonts are installed have names slightly different
than you'd expect them to have (as far as what the system 'sees'.)
Also, did you try the markup overrides I put in my later emails? It
should work as long as you have the font 100% correct named :)
{
c1^\markup { \override #'(font-name . "Minion Pro") "hello" } c
c^\markup { \override #'(font-name . "InformalRoman") "hello" }
c c^\markup { \override #'(font-name . "Raleway") "hello" } c
}
