Same here. Could be a browser issue. > Well, I installed the Ubuntu fonts and tried to access the Medium face from > within LilyPond without success. Version is 2.18.2 on Windows. Have you tried accessing it via 'font-name? That should work since it bypasses LilyPond's font selection code and funnels it through to Pango directly. > Since the second post stated that it worked in 2.19.13 I supposed it might > have to do with the recent changes in font selection but apparently this > really is a bug which has been there before. Having looked at the code, I'd say it hasn't worked for a long time. Two issues: 1) There's no check for 'medium in the code that selects PangoWeight; 2) There are no nodes added for medium weight in add-pango-fonts. Rather amusingly, LyricText has the 'medium font-series in its defaults. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
