Hi, I'm using Lilypond.app 2.16 on Mac 10.7.4. (The change log says 10.7 is

shows that I have Gloucester MT Extra Condensed available as a font for me.
Font Book shows it as being in True Type and Open Type format.
Strange. I have this font installed, too, and it shows nicely a number
of glyphs in Font Book (not sure whether they belong to Gloucester,
though). I reckoned your problem has something to do with the font file
permissions, so I went to copy it to my user folder - and found out that
this very font (in /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/) not only lacks an
extension, but also any content. It's got 0 bytes. Yep.
No clue where the magic lies that FontBook can make something out of it,
but obviously it's not the favorite method of pango.
On a probably completely uninteresting side note, the buzzword
"condensed" in the font name is recognized and the appropriate version
of DejaVuSans is used on my machine.
I try specifying it in my lilypond score file:
\override TimeSignature #'font-name = "Gloucester MT Extra
Condensed"
\override TimeSignature #'font-size = #2
and it just comes at as some sort of plain sans serif looking thing. I don't
get any error messages or warnings.
You should get a warning like
warning: time signature symbol `C44' not found; reverting to numbered
style
(at least if you use 4/4 or 2/2 measures), but then again this can be
remedied with
\override TimeSignature #'style = #'numbered
Otherwise your code is fine, and works with other fonts for me.
Best,
Alexander
