I just encountered something curious while trying to get a list of fonts on my machine from lilypond. According to the documentation of font selection:
lilypond -dshow-available-fonts x This does indeed list of fonts, but the terminal doesn't keep enough lines to see the entire list. So I thought, the UNIX command line stdout redirect should help: lilypond -dshow-available-fonts x >/home/dlm/Documents/ly/show-available-fonts.txt But the output was not redirected. It still went to the terminal window and the new file is empty. Same result piping the output to cat: lilypond -dshow-available-fonts x | cat >/home/dlm/Documents/ly/show-available-fonts.txt Is there a reason why I can't use the usual UNIXy tricks to capture stdout here? hjh -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
