Unwanted spacing in text
For a title I want the Latin word "Aenigma", using a unicode character for the initial "AE" ligature. It works fine except for an unsightly space between the "AE" character and the subsequent plain text. How do I fix this?

Re: Unwanted spacing in text
It could in some circumstances be poor spacing in the font itself. Is there a tracking work around for such circumstances? -Shane Brandes Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device Original message From: David Kastrup Date: 11/12/17 9:44 AM (GMT-05:00) To: William Zeitler Cc: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Re: Unwanted spacing in text William Zeitler writes: > For a title I want the Latin word "Aenigma", using a unicode character > for the initial "AE" ligature.

The problem with imaginary problems is that there is no way to check whether an imaginary fix applies. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

After you go to “Tools/Special Characters”, you must select “Latin-1 Supplement”. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
