Hi Urs, I nearly always use TeX Gyre Schola for the lyrics in my lead sheets and songbooklets - mostly the same as Century Schoolbook, because it’s very good readable even under bad light conditions. Other Open Source fonts I like very much are e.g. Gentium, Antykwa Toruńska and TeX Gyre Pagella (Palatino), but I wouldn’t recommend them for lyrics. The only Open Source fonts with several weights that I would recommend, is TeX Latin Modern, even if it looks rather old fashioned; but I like the sans serif, e.g. for chord names. http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/ http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium http://jmn.pl/en/antykwa-torunska/ Greetlings, Hraban --- fiëé visuëlle Henning Hraban Ramm http://www.fiee.net http://angerweit.tikon.ch/lieder/ https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
