Ooh, this is so nice!
I often encounter this problem that
\override #'(font-name . "My font") \italic
does not produce the italic variant version of my font but
\override #'(font-name . "My font Italic")
works!!!
I will try your "proper way" to add a font and all its variants!!
Could you add this to the documentation, NR 1.8.3 Fonts ?
Cheers,
Xavier

Yes and no. By default, no. When you run add-pango-fonts, it only creates
entries for the following weight-style combinations:
1. normal-upright
2. normal-caps
3. bold-upright
4. normal-italic
5. bold-italic
If there isn't one of those variants, pango seems to fall-back to a closest
relative in the family.
So, you have three options:
1. do nothing and live with the above combinations
2. create a new font family that has the desired semibold as the "normal",
which would also grab the semibold italic as well
3. modify the add-pango-fonts function to create more nodes, but I'm not
sure if Pango knows how to grab variants outside of those listed above. The
nice thing is that you can modify font.scm without needing to re-compile
everything from source. I'll try adding a couple of combinations to see
what happens and report back. Otherwise, it might be a more involved
re-write to get convenient access to less common font variants without
specifying the exact font name.
I know that there was some work a while back by Alexander Kobel on
extending this to a larger family of weights/styles/widths/etc., but I
don't think it ever got finished, or did it? Perhaps Alexander can comment.
This would be a great feature, IMO.
Best,
Abraham

This is fabulous! Thanks. It also propagates through \bold, with is wonderful.
But my family (Crimson Text) has bold and semibold variants — can I have access
to both?

Oh, boy. My phone's auto-correct... That should read "Pango".
Anyway, I realized I didn't give you a very complete (or correct) solution.
So, let's try again. The \paper block should look like this (and this
should be below any #(set-global-staff-size ...) because that resets the
"fonts" variable and you need to add to it):
%
\paper {
#(add-pango-fonts fonts 'minion "Minion Pro" (/ staff-height pt 20))
bookTitleMarkup = ##f
scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
\override #'(font-family . 'minion)
\fromproperty #'header:title
}
}
%
Now, the font choice should propagate through to the \italic command.
HTH,
Abraham

The reason it breaks the \italic is because you don't tell LilyPond that
there _is_ an italic variant when all you do is override the font-name like
that.
The better way would be to add a text font to the "fonts" tree because it
looks for the four standard family members (regular, italic, bold, and
bold-italic). I think the scheme function is "add-text-fonts". You can find
how it's used in the file [LILYDIR]/scm/font.scm.
With the font family added (let's say it's the 'minion family), you the
change to it with
\markup {
\override #'(font-family . 'minion)
...
}
And if Pangolin found the italic variant, you shouldn't need to do anything
else other than \italic like normal.
Best,
Abraham

how to get markup formatting to survive a font-name change
Hello all,
In the snippet, below, the font-name override kills the \italic as set in the
\header.
Is there any way to avoid that [without having to hack the title into two
separate functions/parameters]?
Thanks,
Kieren.
