alternative music font

2011-01-31 Thread Gerard McConnell
Hello,
I've forgotten how to use an alternative music font.  Of course the default
font is excellent, but last year someone mentioned an
alternative, I think it began with G, not Garamond.And then, how would I
use that instead of the default font?  Sorry, I know
this has been covered but I can't find it in the manuals, and as I said,
neither can I recall the name of that font that was mentioned here late last
year.
Thanks for any help,
Gerard

Is there plans to include alternative fonts in lilypond?
Or, better, to make it easier to choose an alternative font, like a
'plugin' that you can use or not?

There have been some movements towards that direction

maybe alternative fonts could have a standard 'extension folder', so
packagers/users could, for example, putting files there (or making
lilypond-extras packages) providing extra fonts (just like you install
a python module with a package). Then the user could switch with a
lilypond command, and chose another font for another lilypond project,
using the same build. Developers could, eventually, include the most
used alternative fonts into mainline Lilypond, just like emacs include
some custom themes.
