One caveat: I accidentally put the font in a different directory than the .ly file, but of course, typed the correct path to the font. Mark

Question for Windows users
Hi, A little question for Windows users: could one of you please do the following test and report back? 1. Choose any font that is NOT installed on your system. Random choice: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/alex-brush It's very recognizable, so it'll be easy to tell if the font is being properly used. I will assume you use this font (“AlexBrush”) in the following. 2. Create a .ly file in some directory on your computer. Put the font .otf/.ttf file(s) in that directory. 3. Add this code to the .ly file and compile it: \version "2.24.1" #(ly:font-config-add-directory "C:/path/to/directory") \markup \override #'(font-name . "AlexBrush") "ABCD" where "C:/path/to/directory" is the path to the directory you put the .ly file and the font in, with 4 different variants. Please test all 4 and let me know which work and which don't. a) Slashes in the path and a slash at the end: C:/path/to/directory/ b) Slashes in the path and no slash at the end: C:/path/to/directory c) Double backslashes in the path and a double backslash at the end: C:\\path\\to\\directory\\ d) Double backslashes in the path and no double backslash at the end: C:\\path\\to\\directory Thanks in advance.
