copied the .otf file from the TypeKit font cache directory to ~/.fonts. On linux that works perfectly, on OS X, I _think_ i had to change some fontconfig files to include that location. I just booted to linux, and generated my PDF. In comparison, I used the same font in LibreOffice writer (not necessarily the best typographical tool in the world), and this is the comparison: http://nota.bailey.at/libre-office-frescobaldi-linux.png (sorry, too big to attach). the ligature is obviously there in my copy of the font.

Minion is beautiful -- I use it as a CI font in a different enterprise. :) For music, I like Kepler, which also has a massive assortment of weights and styles. Thanks for your include file, that gives me some ideas and answers another question i've had drafted in a mail for a while... :D regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
