Technically, I think that's .lilypond-fonts.cache-2 which means, of course, that it's a "hidden" dotfile. > I currently use a symlink (on Ubuntu, ext3 file system) and that seems > to work. But can I change it somewhere else? A quick search of a locally installed version throws up this file: $ cat ~/lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64/lilypond/usr/etc/fonts/local.conf <fontconfig> <selectfont> <rejectfont> <pattern> <patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt> </pattern> </rejectfont> </selectfont> <cachedir>~/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2</cachedir> </fontconfig> $ so try changing that to whatever you want. I assume that if you then compile a small file, a smattering of fonts might appear in the new location, in which case you could move/copy the others over. Or, of course, you could just delete the old ones, and the new ones should be recreated in the normal course of events. I don't know where the distribution-supplied version keeps its font cache; perhaps in /var/cache/… though I don't see any feta or emmentaler therein. I also don't know where you prefer them to go (local ones). My own preference would be in ~/.cache/lilypond/…, .cache/ being where most applications seem to be moving their cached data to, in a similar manner to their configuration directories migrating to .config/ over time. Much tidier. Cheers, David. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
