Re: problems with ly:font-load
2008/12/9 Werner LEMBERG [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I've just added ly:font-config-add-directory and
ly:font-config-add-font. Please test.
Hi Werner,
for some reason I can't figure out how to make it work. Would you have
an example file to send me?
I've tried
#(ly:font-config-add-font ./Documents/chemoelectric_-_Goudy_Bookletter_1.otf)
or
#(ly:font-config-add-directory ./Documents/)
and then
c-\markup{ \override #'(font-name . Goudy Bookletter) text }
But this doesn't work (more surprisingly, it doesn't display any
message during the compilation??). Before you ask, I have also removed
the fontconfig cache before compiling the .ly file.
Looking forward to making it work! :-)
Cheers,
Valentin

What message do you expect? You get something if you add command line
option `-V' to lilypond.

compiling the .ly file.
This is irrelevant. Fonts added by the two new functions are not
cached in the cache file.
Let's assume that you have a subdirectory `f', and the font in this
directory is `pala.ttf'. Try this (in file `f.ly'):
#(ly:font-config-add-directory ./f)
#(ly:font-config-display-fonts)
\relative {
c-\markup{ \override #'(font-name . Palatino) text }
}
with
lilypond f.ly 2 f.log
Hmm, this doesn't work; it's not the right font. Looking into the log
file, I see that this font is not called `Palatino' but `Palatino
Linotype'. Fixing this, I get the desired result.

But this doesn't work (more surprisingly, it doesn't display any message during the compilation??). What message do you expect? You get something if you add command line option `-V' to lilypond. I expected to see the messages you added in font-config-scheme.cc :-) This is irrelevant. Fonts added by the two new functions are not cached in the cache file. Neat. Let's assume that you have a subdirectory `f', and the font in this directory is `pala.ttf'. Try this (in file `f.ly'): Oh, I didn't think TTF fonts would work (of course, I should have guessed that any file recognized by fontconfig could do the trick). Hmm, this doesn't work; it's not the right font. Looking into the log file, I see that this font is not called `Palatino' but `Palatino Linotype'. Fixing this, I get the desired result. Indeed. Actually, I was mixing up the font-family name with the actual font-name; now it works! Wooohoo, this will make Lilypond even more exciting!

Re: problems with ly:font-load
Oh, I didn't think TTF fonts would work (of course, I should have guessed that any file recognized by fontconfig could do the trick). This is not correct. Lilypond can't handle bitmap fonts (which FontConfig will also find if it is configured to do so -- we have to implement something to reject them), and it currently can't handle TTCs; the latter is something I would like to change as soon as time permits.

Re: problems with ly:font-load
However, it shouldn't be to hard to add functions `ly:font-config-register-directory' and `ly:font-config-register-file' (using FcConfigAppFontAddFile) to lilypond. That would be awesome; [...] I've just added ly:font-config-add-directory and ly:font-config-add-font. Please test.

Re: problems with ly:font-load
I've just added ly:font-config-add-directory and ly:font-config-add-font. Please test. Yeepee! I'm compiling right away. Just a warning: I got crashes with fontconfig 2.4.1; if you experience the same you should try version 2.6.0.

Re: problems with ly:font-load
Are you aware of the fact that (ly:font-load foo) only loads an OTF font with the name `foo.otf'? Additionally, the font should contain OpenType tables `LILC', `LILY', and `LILF', or you get a warning message. Feel free to update the name to reflect this. Done. It's now called ly:system-font-load. I omit a conversion rule for convert-ly since this function hasn't worked in an updateable form since one or two years already, and there weren't complaints IIRC.

Re: problems with ly:font-load
Note that lilypond can't load any other font by itself; it uses uses the fontconfig interface for everything else. BTW: a while ago, I asked you if there was a way to load fonts that are *not* installed on the system (by forcing fontconfig to detect fonts, say, in the same directory as the .ly sources). Can LilyPond do that? I don't think so. Have a look into font-config.cc: There you can see that FcConfigAppFontAddDir is called for lilypond_datadir + /fonts/otf lilypond_datadir + /fonts/type1 only (the latter should be removed eventually as soon as we no longer need the PFB fonts). However, it shouldn't be to hard to add functions `ly:font-config-register-directory' and `ly:font-config-register-file' (using FcConfigAppFontAddFile) to lilypond. Any takers? I can't promise that I can provide such functions quickly. Werner ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

That would be awesome; of course I can launch FontConfig through a makefile but makefiles don't work under (a standard installation of) Windows. So, this way I could ship my opera with some nice fonts included in the sources, and these fonts would be automagically used whenever compiling the score, on whichever OS :-) If you think it's manageable, feel free to open an issue in the tracker (I won't do so myself, since my point of view is not objective on this topic)...

Additionally, the font should contain OpenType tables `LILC', `LILY', and `LILF', or you get a warning message. In other words, this function is only suited to load lilypond's `system' fonts and nothing else. This should be mentioned in the doc string.
