Hello Jesse, On the Mac, to place fonts in the typical location (~/Library/Fonts), you need to modify the /opt/local/etc/fonts/local.conf file. I am using MacPorts, which puts /etc in /opt/local; HomeBrew may place it elsewhere.
The modification is as follows: In the <fontconfig> section, add *<dir>~/Library/Fonts</dir>* My local.conf file tejoseph fonts % more local.conf <fontconfig> <selectfont> <rejectfont> <pattern> <patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt> </pattern> </rejectfont> </selectfont> <cachedir>~/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2</cachedir> *<dir>~/Library/Fonts</dir>* </fontconfig> Many thanks, mattfong On Wed, Feb 9, 2022 at 9:07 AM Mike Andrews <udsd...@gmail.com> wrote: > Segmentation fault indicates something seriously wrong in what Lilypond is > seeing or doing.
