(1) You have the font 'Noto Color Emoji' installed on your system (the
new one, with scalable glyphs using the 'COLR' v1 format). Say
`fc-list | less` to find out where it is located. This font
format is not supported by GhostScript – such a font cannot be
meaningfully embedded in a PS or PDF file.
(2) For some reason, the digits in the tagline string are taken from
`Noto Color Emoji` instead of `C059-Roman`, which is used for
everything else in the tagline (see the end of your
`Non-Musical.ps` file).
I think item (1) happens because 'Noto Color Emoji' is set up as a
fallback font on your OS.
Regarding (2) I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies (i.e.,
whether it is a LilyPond or a Pango issue). However, if you use the
current LilyPond developer version, this should be fixed: LilyPond and
Pango no longer use glyph names but glyph indices for communication.
BTW: Have you checked whether the Cairo backend works for you?
```
lilypond -dbackend=cairo ...
```
Perhaps we should disable color fonts similarly to variation fonts, at
least for now (and later on for the PS backend only). Such a change
could be backported to the 2.24 series.
I had tried a copy of the test file with tagline =#f in a \header block,
but that crashed.
Following your suggestion, Werner, I tried the test file with the cairo
back end, and it worked as expected.
I then deleted the Noto Color Emoji font (synaptic also deleted texlive
fonts extra links), and retried the test file. Again, it worked as expected.
I believe, as my old Latin teacher would say, rem acu tetigisti!
My heartfelt thanks to you and especially Jean for your help and patience.
