Dear all,

I switched back from Linux to OS X on one of my machines recently, and now I'm puzzled how to use user-installed fonts with LilyPond.

I did the usual thing: grab a .ttf (Gentium in this case), double-click (opens in FontBook.app), click "install". The font file is copied to $HOME/Library/Fonts, and available in Mac applications. However, no luck in LilyPond. After some googling, I tried to delete the $HOME/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2 directory and have Lily rebuild the cache, but to no avail. (BTW, why "-2" at the end?)

I suppose I can just copy the font files to the system library /Library/Fonts, but there must be a proper way to announce the user directory to pango/fontconfig/LilyPond/whatever, right? Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,
Alexander
