Hi Till and all,
this was very valuable help indeed! I installed texlive-fonts-extra
which contains the Antykwa Torunska otf files. Then I linked the whole
directory into ~/.fonts. Then I used
myStaffSize = #26
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "AntykwaTorunska"
"AntykwaTorunska"
"AntykwaTorunska"
(/ myStaffSize 26)))
which gave me AntykwaTorunska in the lilypond output!
BUT: if the lyrics contain special characters as german umlauts
(äöü, ...), The lilypond-book output is corrupted and contains
postscript errors -- it can't be displayed by gv nor printed.
I included the lilypond files with \lilypondfile in my latex file.
If I translate the lilypond file on it's own with lilypond, the
postscript output is ok. If I translate the latex file with
lilypond-book, the output has postscript errors. Both the latex file and
the .ly files are utf-8 encoded. The latex file contains:
\usepackage[utf-8]{inputenc}
Any ideas how to get it also working with umlauts?
