Well, for what it's worth, in Windows 98 you can find font files -- click Start --> Find --> Files or Folders... and you get a dialog box with 3 tabs. In the drop-down list for Look In, select (C:) but leave the Named box and the Containing Text box blank. Then click the Advanced tab, and in the drop-down list for Of Type, select Font File and then click Find Now and the results will show a list of so-called font files present anywhere on the C: drive. However, you have to do this again, but this time in the drop-down list for Of Type, select True Type Font File and then click Find Now, and the new results will show a list of all TrueType font files on C: This is the list that most people will find useful. Windows XP must have an equivalent procedure. However, since Windows is such a disorganized mess, I can't be sure whether doing the above will really find all the fonts on the system. I also realize that a user who (hypothetically) finds font files installed in some nonstandard directory on the C: drive will have to find a way to tell LilyPond where that directory is. -- Tom _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
