I cannot repeat the problem on my Linux machine, but I do get the same
problem
when I use my Windows installation. The problem is clearly related to
so-called
ligatures, which means that well-designed fonts have special symbols for
character
combinations like "ff", "fl" and "fi". For some reason, LilyPond (or
probably the
font handling library Pango used in LilyPond) gets the impression that
your font
has a ligature for "ft", which it in fact doesn't.
I send a copy to the bug-lilypond mailing list, but I'm not sure if it's
LilyPond's fault.

Thank you Mats, I succeeded, but.... there seems to be a strange error
when creating a PDF file.
The text 'heeft' turns into something like hee@, check with:
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\repeat volta 2 {
\time 4/4
b'4
}
}
text = \lyricmode {
\override Score . LyricText #'font-name = "Palatino Linotype"
{
Heeft
}}
\score{
<<
\new Voice = "one" {
\autoBeamOff
\melody
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text
\layout { }
}
What can I do about that? It seems to happen only with the combination
'ft'...

You are definitely on the right track. Try
text = \lyricmode
{
\override Score . LyricText #'font-name = "Vera Bold"
\override Score . LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
Glo- ri- a, ...
However, at least on my system, there is no italic version of Vera Bold.
For the font size, the manual tells that the font-size property is
given relative
to the value of the paper variable text-font-size, but it doesn't
tell how this is
set by default. By looking at the implementation, I found out that
the default
value of text-font-size is 12pt for the default 20pt staff size and
in general
12 / 20 * staff size.

Hello,
A week ago I started using Lilypond. So far it seems to have
fabulous possibilities. I only have one simple question.
I want to change the fontsize & fonttype of the lyrics in my file,
but can't find a way to do so. I will ad an example of one of my files.
Please tell me how to change these to (preferably) Palatino
Linotype, 14pt.
Thanx
