Using #(define fonts) gives me an ill-looking feta font

[James Lowe]

Hello,

I am using Mac OS X (in case that matters) and I am having an issue where
using the following construct in a \paper block:

 myStaffSize = #24
  #(define fonts
      (make-pango-font-tree "Baskerville"
                            "Optima"
                            "Courier"
                              (/ myStaffSize 24)))


--

Gives me 'ugly' instances of the feta font.

See attached pngs (left side is without this construct)

As you can see the 'church rests' don't touch the staff lines and the
heads and stems are 'spindly'.

I'd like to define the 3 font types instead of having to use overrides,
but the 'myStaffSize' is something I just copied verbatim from the NR. I
don't actually know what it does but I cannot just remove it as I get
compile errors.

My files use a #(set-global-staff-size 24) so I thought it might be
related, but changing the value either in this global-staff-size or in the
myStaffSize does nothing.

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice so I can get the glyphs
correctly formatted again without having to go through all 24 individual
scores and set 'abs-font' commands everywhere?

Thanks as always for your time.

James
