I just tried - it looks like it can't use it in the title, either. There, I
get a
console error:
warning: `(fondu -force /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Gloucester MT Extra
Condensed)' failed (256)
When I try to run fondu in Terminal, I get this:
Can't find an appropriate resource fork in /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Gloucester
MT Extra Condensed
But it's odd that Lilypond otherwise reports it as an available font.
And I'm not sure why it's trying to run fondu on it in the first place, as it's
not a .dfont .
Then, a bit of progress -
I was able to find a *.ttf version of that font online, and I just threw the
*.ttf file into my ~/.fonts directory.
Then, your code sample worked on a small test document. The title is
in Gloucester.
However, it still doesn't work for the time signature, (you were right),
which is a bummer since that was the point for me. :)
Anyway, I'm not sure if any of these are bugs, but I'd summarize as:
- Why is Lilypond trying to run fondu on font files that are already truetype
- the installed version is font v 1.51, opentype and truetype, shows as
0 bytes in terminal but 76 kilobytes in finder
- the downloaded *.ttf is font v 1.50, truetype, shows as
26 kb in terminal, and 68 kb in finder
- If a title can be changed to another font, shouldn't a time signature
be able to be changed as well? Or is there another way to
accomplish this? I thought this might be because of the Feta
font, but this docs page implies it should be possible to
switch time signature fonts:

Thanks to anyone willing to wade in these weeds. :)
