RE: Default font

[Fairchild]

Mats -

Following your pointers, rummaging and deducing, I've made some progress.

Primarily, I'm trying to discover the default text font used in \markup and
the same text font to use in embedded PostScript.  Purpose is to match
rotated text.

It seems the default is Roman Upright Medium 10, cmr10.tfm, located at
\usr\share\texmf\fonts\tfm\public\cm\

The closest PostScript font seems to be Times-Roman using 2.2 (manual says
1.75) scalefont.  It's not the same as cmr10.tfm, but close.  Haven't found
where it lives.  Manual implies cmr10 can be used in the \postscript string,
but PostScript names seem to be necessary.

Using 2.4.3 on XP with .pdf via .ps backend.

                                    - Bruce

Default font for what? Lyrics, dynamics, music symbols and textual
indications are all typeset using different fonts. My answer to your
question from April 14 should provide enough hints for you to find the
answer yourself, though.
