Re: Titles italic format ignored

[Curt McDowell]

Overriding font-name also overrides the font slant and weight in a 
sticky way. Perhaps LilyPond ought to have a font-face property. The 
slant and weight can be specified along with the font name:

  subtitle = \markup \raise #1.0 \fontsize #-3 \override #'(font-name . 
"Arial Italic") "A Medley for Orchestra"

or

  subtitle = \markup \raise #1.0 \fontsize #-3 \override #'(font-name . 
"Arial Black Italic") "A Medley for Orchestra"
