Please remind us about what operating system you use and which LilyPond version. At least on Linux and Windows, I certainly get lots of fonts that lists Italic as one of the available styles. At the end of the list, you also get information on where LilyPond looks for fonts, in the lines with Config files: ... Config dir: ... Font dir: ...
Ah yes: MacOS X 10.4.8 with 2.11.20.
This information could provide you some hints on why you don't get the fonts you expect. If you are on MacOS, then there seems to be some font-related bug in the latest releases, which may provide some explanation.
Aha. If it helps, the output of -dshow-available-fonts is long, but here's the big that references Times: < snip > family Warnock Pro SmBd Warnock Pro SmBd,Warnock Pro:style=Italic,Semibold Italic family STSong STSong:style=Regular family Times Times:style=Regular,Standard,Testo normale,Normaal,Normal,Común,Almindelig,Vanlig tekst,Normaali family Hiragino Kaku Gothic Std W8 < snip > ... and only Regular is available, which is the case with *almost* all of the fonts in the output listing. And here's the very end of the output list, which shows directories hunted for configuration: < snip > family Savoye LET Savoye LET:style=Plain Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/fonts.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/20-fix-globaladvance.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/20-lohit-gujarati.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/20-unhint-small-vera.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/30-amt-aliases.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/40-generic.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/51-local.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/local.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/65-nonlatin.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/69-unifont.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf Config files: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/90-synthetic.conf Config dir: /usr/share/fonts Config dir: /Library/Fonts Config dir: /System/Library/Fonts Config dir: /Users/trevorbaca/.fonts Font dir: /usr/share/fonts Font dir: /Library/Fonts Font dir: /System/Library/Fonts Font dir: /Users/trevorbaca/.fonts < end > Unfortunately I just don't know much of anything, really, about font management on my operating system; it's just a shielded resource in most applications other that Lily. Does anyone see an obviously missing directory in the above output that would explain why I'm getting mostly regular style fonts instead of italic and bold?
