In addition, I just tried using the Windows short name "AGaramond" in
fonts.scm, and LilyPond made a PDF, but it was not in Adobe Garamond --
the text came out in a weird and jaggedy sans serif face. Go figure.

Hello all,
I'm a new LilyPond user and use LilyPond 2.5.x on a fully-up-to-date
copy of Gentoo Linux without X as well as on Ubuntu Linux 5.04-preview
with Xorg and Gnome 2.10. I would like to use PostScript fonts from
the Adobe Font Folio in my LilyPond output, for example, Adobe Caslon
or Adobe Garamond, but my experience of using X/Gnome (and the Linux
font situation in general) is limited.
On my Ubuntu system, I opened fonts:/// and copied my *.pfb files for
Adobe Caslon into it. As a test, I also copied the Calisto MT TrueType
font as well. OpenOffice can see the TrueType font I installed, but
not the PostScript ones. Mozilla Firefox can see all of them.
Now, LilyPond, the crux of the matter here, can't seem to find these
fonts (I used "locate" to learn that Gnome had put them in ~/.fonts).
I edited /usr/local/share/lilypond/2.5.15/scm/font.scm and changed a
line to read {add-pango-fonts n 'roman Adobe Garamond" factor}, but
when I try and run LilyPond the next time, I get the following message:
/usr/local/share/lilypond/2.5.15/scm/lily.scm:306:8: In expression
(catch (quote ly-file-failed) (lambda () #) ...):
/usr/local/share/lilypond/2.5.15/scm/lily.scm:306:8: Wrong number of
arguments to #<procedure #f (key arg)>
I can hack font.scm to refer to "URW Palladio L" fine, and the change
is reflected the next time I use LilyPond. I can change it back to the
default Century font, and the change is reflected the next time I use
LilyPond. Somehow, though, using "Adobe Garamond" will trigger the
above error.
I'm hacking the font name directly into font.scm because I'm under the
impression that only the default fonts are easily sizeable. I'm really
impressed by LilyPond but I'd just like to use Adobe Garamond instead
of Century for my documents :) Thanks for your help in advance.
