Re: [Gregorio-users] Luaotfload and the initial character
Hello,
I have tried experimenting, but have been unable to figure out how to get
the proper font to appear on the initial letter. I called both size fonts
\font\initialfont=/Users/admin/Library/Fonts/GaramondPremrPro.otf at 36pt
\font\initialfont=/Users/admin/Library/Fonts/GaramondPremrPro.otf at 12pt
and put the relevant font size number in the greinitialformat
\def\greinitialformat#1{%
{\fontsize{36}{36}\selectfont #1}%
}
Do I need to change something further in this script to get it to print the
36pt otf font?
How would I redefine the \greitalic?
Thanks for your help.
Yours,
bro. Innocent

Dear Gregorio-users,
I am trying to use an otf font with luaotfload. I managed to get the
font to work with the main text of the chant, but it does not work for
the initial character. Also, the italicized T.P. at the end of the
score appears to be in a different font than the rest of the chant.
The gabc score directs for that to be italicized with iT.P./i
Any suggestions?
Hello,
an .otf font has just one size and one type (regular, italic, bold, etc.).
If you want it at a bigger size, you have to load it at a bigger size:
\font\initialfont = myfont.otf at 43pt
and then use it in \greinitialformat. Idem for italic, you have to open
\font\initialfont = myitalicfont.otf
and then redefine \greitalic to use this font. Alternatively, if you want a
real integration with LaTeX (luaotfload is quite low-level), you will be
interested in fontspec, which does everything automatically.
Thank you,

Dear Tracy and Elie, Thank you for your assistance, I now see where I was confused. This solves my problem and the fonts look beautiful! By the way, thanks for making the fix to the Dominican bar spacing. I've installed the new svn and the output of the bars is perfect. Thanks again for all the work you have done and your generous assistance. Yours, br. Innocent ___ Gregorio-users mailing list Gregorio-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gregorio-users
