Re: Persian fonts

In fact it's very simple (only my lack of experience in handling fonts files made it difficult):

 at first when lilypond's console was showing error messages, it said clearly waht paths it was going through to locate the .ly file, there were several paths, so i guess you can just put a copy of it in each one of these folders (as for me I just put it in one of them, not all), then the fonts were to be pasted in the computer's font book, and that's about it. That way not only Lilypond can access these fonts, but any program, I haven't tried it this last option yet.

I'm really sorry but this is not clear for a newbie like me, where is my
source file?

I meant your .ly file :-)

This solution, although experimental, seems a lot simpler than the
whole discussion about installing fonts -- if I may :-)

Not really, unless you want to redistribute the font with the .ly sources. If installed system-wide, all program gets access to it (for example, could be used in input sources). But if you only back up your home-directory, it may have to be re-installed if you need to make a new system installation.
