Setting entire document fonts

2014-10-24 Thread Richard Shann 
Following the example for setting the entire document fonts at

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/fonts#entire-document-fonts

I constructed this code:

\version 2.18.0
\paper  {
  #(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree Nimbus Sans
  Luxi Mono
  Times New Roman
  (/ staff-height pt 20)))
}

{
 c' ^\markup {roman,
\sans sans,
\typewriter typewriter.} g' 
}
%#(set-global-staff-size 20)


where I have switched round the order of the fonts so that the
typewriter should show in Roman and the Roman as sans etc.
This works, but if I uncomment the set-global-staff-size line it reverts
to the default.
What is going on here? How do I set the fonts and the overall staff
size? 

Richard

Richard,

Internally, when you call set-global-staff-size, it resets the text fonts. 
Thus, if you want to use a different staff size, that must go PRIOR to where 
you define the fonts. Kinda weird, I know, but that's how it works. 

HTH,
Abraham

Thank you! that works fine.

... and one of those little points where lilypond devs should really massage
their neighbourhood-user-friendliness muscle a little... 

Sorry - I don't mean to troll or flame, but this conversation just brought back
memories of hours spent in search of the causes of silly errors such as this.
Argh.
