Hi everybody, need help with the Persian sori and koron glyphs. Here is a
detailed description of what I tried
I am on macosx10.4.11
I went to Anrian Pertout's website, downloaded the "True Type fonts in zip
archive fomat: 'Microtonal Font <http://www.pertout.com/Microton_TT.zip>' "
( http://www.pertout.com/PhD2007Introduction.htm ) put it in macintosh
hd/system/library/fonts
I also put the persian.ly file in one of the folders that lilypond appeared
to be searching into for it (namely: mac hd/user/music/music notes).
After pasting the following code (included in the persian.ly file) in
Lilypond's text file:
\include "persian.ly"
\score {
\relative c' {
\set Staff.keySignature = \chahargahD
\override Score.KeySignature #'text = #chahargahDKey
bk'8 a gs fo r g ak g fs ek d c d ef16 d c4
}
\midi { }
\layout { }
}
}
I saved it and compiled it, the pdf file showed up with the glyphs
completely messed up, instead of koron, sori, sharp, key signature,
accidentals etc... I got these signs :
ø
!
!
ùù
" ' ù!
(see the attached pdf)
The notes and the clef are ok.
I get 5 error messages:
1º syntax error, unexpected '}'
2º (process:1240): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GDEF table 28333
3º (process:1240): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 28333
4º (process:1240): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 28333
5º Erreur : erreur sur les fichiers : "/Users/radif/Music/Musicnotes/
chahargah.ly"
"Error: error on the files:..."
Now i guess something's wrong with the persian fonts, maybe the location i
put them in; but the error message doesn't make it clear for me as where I
have messed up. I see there are many pango files inLilypond's code source:
Lilypond 2.12.2/lily/pango-font-scheme.cc
Lilypond 2.12.2/lily/pango-font.cc
Lilypond 2.12.2/lily/include/pango-font.hh
Lilypond 2.12.2/lily/pango-select-scheme.cc
Lilypond 2.12.2/lily/pango-select.cc
Thanks all for your help.
