Re: Make-pango-font-tree doesn't work with set-global-staff size

[Mats Bengtsson]

The line
#(set-global-staff-size 16)
calls a Scheme function that is executed when LilyPond reads the file.
Apparently, it sets the fonts in some way. This means that you need to have
that line at the top of the file, before the make-pango-font-tree line. 
For example

#(set-global-staff-size 16)
\paper
{
   #(set-default-paper-size "letter")
   #(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree "Times"
                                        "Helvetica"
                                        "Courier"
                                       (/ 16 20)))
}
             
\header
{
 ...
