I am working on some scores using a japanese font for hiragana lyrics.
My guess is that the default font is VLGothic as that is the font that
always shows up in the file -> properties -> fonts when evince has an
open document and no specific font is named.
The VL Gothic fonts look somewhat industrial to me so I was looking around
for some alternatives in /usr/share/fonts. There were two other
fonts that I tried
sazanami-gothic and sazanami-mincho to see if there was any difference.
I don't know how it works on other systems but the font-name that lily uses
has to come from /etc/fonts/conf.d and then grep for something like
azanami. So whats below doesn't work
\new Lyrics \with { alignBelowContext = "vocalmelody" }
\lyricsto "vocalmelody" {
\override LyricText #'font-name = #"sazanami-mincho"
\override LyricText #'font-size = #2
\override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #1.0
\vocaltextHB
}
But changing this one line does
\override LyricText #'font-name = #"Sazanami Mincho"
If someone can provide further explanation I would appreciate it as I
fiddled for quite some time to figure this out. Or is there a list that
lily uses with the correct way to enter the font names?
