Re: Persian fonts

I think I followed your advice, but I don't know whether the font file is wrong or if I've done smthng else wrong, or whether it's as you say that "Perhaps LilyPond must have ~/Library/Fonts added to the search path".

I'll try to find this search path.

In recent LilyPond versions, you don't even have to install the font;
you can just put it in the same directory as your source file, and add

#(ly:font-config-add-directory "./")

before loading your font. (It is still a bit experimental though.)

One can install it (using the Font Book) in the home directory, but for some reason it did not work with the versions of LilyPond that I tried. Perhaps LilyPond must have ~/Library/Fonts added to the search path.
