Hi Carl-Hendrik,

please use the code I sent you, because it works here, I tested it. If
you then want to put it elsewhere or change things, do it step by step
to see which step fails.

Does this minimal example work for you?

{ a a a a }
\addlyrics { A B C D }

\layout {
  \override Lyrics.LyricText.font-name = "Arial"
  \override Lyrics.LyricText.font-size = -1
}

Possible problems are:
- Did you forget the 'Lyrics.' part?
- You need a string, so either #"fontname" or "fontname"
- Sometimes it is difficult to find the correct font name
Try with an easy name of a font that you know is installed on your
computer. For example: the font Century Schoolbook is not just called
like this, but rather "Century Schoolbook L". Or I often use Linux
Libertine which is called "Linux Libertine O"

> Regardless of font, how to make the font size smaller?

Have you seen my mail?


Cheers,
Joram
