Hello,
I have a problem obtaining the correct font for TextScripts. When I
type
the following command:
c4^\markup \italic "legato"
it shows up all right in Frescobaldi but the svg file does not produce
the
correct font. Indeed, the source-code of the svg file only states
"serif"
as font.
I cannot reproduce this behavior. Here is my MWE for reference:
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
{ b'4 ^\markup \italic "Hello" }
%%%%
The relevant excerpt from the SVG file:
====
<text transform="translate(17.2358, 1.6730)" font-family="serif"
font-style="italic" font-size="2.2001" text-anchor="start"
fill="currentColor">
<tspan>Hello</tspan>
</text>
====
When I specify an explicit font in the voice context like this:
\context {
\Voice
\override TextScript.font-name = #"Times New Roman"
}
the text is no longer in italic, even though I left the markup line
unchanged. The svg file states:
font-family="Times New"
so it seems the "Roman" is stripped away and the font is not
recognized.
There is also no tag that the font-style should be italic.
Two things here:
1) "Roman" can be confused with a style, so you need to add a comma
after the font family.
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
{ b'4 -\tweak font-name "Times New Roman," ^"Hello" }
%%%%
2) When specifying an explicit font-name, things like \italic no longer
work. You must then manually specify the style after the font family.
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
{ b'4 -\tweak font-name "Times New Roman, Italic" ^"Hello" }
