Hello, I'm trying to find a suitable system font for use with some tablature I'm typesetting. The command "lilypond -dshow-available-fonts" does indeed do exactly that, but there are so many fonts on my system that this command is not helpful on its own. What I'd like is some way of searching the font list. For example, I'd hope to write that font list to a file, which I could explore at leisure.
I'm using Linux, and normally I can redirect the output of a command to a file, such as ls -l > list.txt But this doesn't work with the lilypond font command. I'm quite mystified that the lilypond somehow ignores shell commands; at least in this instance. This same behaviour means I can't pipe the output of the font command to grep for searching. How can I search the list of available fonts? Alasdair -- Alasdair McAndrew (he/him) mob: 0432 854 858 https://numbersandshapes.net
