Thay should be found in a folder like: C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\fonts\otf The font files are actually called "emmentaler-XX.otf". Just copy all of them (including the Century Schoolbook ones) to the regular system font folder (C:\Windows\Fonts) and everything should work in Inkscape. On Windows, this would be the easiest thing for now. To create SVG output scores, you need to add the lilypond.exe directory (C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin) to the PATH environment variable, but then you should be able to follow any of the regular command line instructions in the online manual, like: lilypond -dbackend=svg test.ly Regards, Abraham -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/ly-to-svg-can-t-manage-to-get-anything-working-tp164744p164745.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
