RE: font metric

[Fairchild]

Han-Wen -

Thanks, but still too cryptic for me.

Indeed, you have added to my "unknowns" list.  The function
ly:grob-default-font seems to require an argument 'grob.'  How to denote a
specific grob?

I'm searching for a way to interrogate the default/current font name, then
add to LSR entry "File Information."

try

   ly:grob-default-font

or

   ly:grob-property <grob> 'font

what problem are you trying to solve?
