This is because virtually everything that has any kind of font property
is scaled relative to the staff-height. So, at 20pt staff-height, a 12pt
font looks just right, but at 17pt staff-height, it ends up being scaled
down to 12*(17/20) = 10.2pt. There are ways around this, though. Markups
have the \abs-fontsize macro, but there isn't a built-in one for
anything else, like Lyrics. A really nice macro was put together by Mike
Solomon so the absolute nature of font size can be applied to any
other kind of text object. Here's the code for it:
allowGrobCallback =
#(define-scheme-function (parser location syms) (symbol-list?)
(let ((interface (car syms))
(sym (cadr syms)))
#{
\with {
\consists #(lambda (context)
`((acknowledgers .
((,interface . ,(lambda (engraver grob source-engraver)
(let ((prop (ly:grob-property grob sym)))
(if (procedure? prop) (ly:grob-set-property! grob sym
(prop grob)))
)))
}
#}))
absFontSize =
#(define-scheme-function (parser location pt)(number?)
(lambda (grob)
(let* ((layout (ly:grob-layout grob))
(ref-size (ly:output-def-lookup (ly:grob-layout grob)
'text-font-size 12)))
(magnification-font-size (/ pt ref-size))
)))
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\allowGrobCallback font-interface.font-size
}
}
which you then can use like this:
\override LyricText.font-size = \absFontSize 11.5
Without this, then to get back up to 12pt you'd need to manually
increase the font-size, which is what you've learned already.

Abraham

Re: problem with installed font when set-global-staff-size is changed
Hi Simon,
thank you for your advice! Just for people reading my question in the
future: Your hint lead me to solve the problem with
\layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 17)
\override LyricText.font-name = EBGaramond
\override LyricText.font-size = #2
\override Score.BarNumber.font-name = EBGaramond
\override Score.BarNumber.font-size = #2
\override Staff.InstrumentName.font-name = EBGaramond
\override Staff.InstrumentName.font-size = #2
}
(Setting the font-sizes manually is necessary since for some unknown
reason, the font-size decreases.) For my purposes that is an acceptable
workaround.
Greets,
Jonathan
