font use

[Fr. Michael Gilmary, mma]

Hi everyone:

I'm using Lilypond v. 2.13.37-1 and the question is:

what has changed in the use of fonts --- for lyrics especially? I mean in terms of the common ligatures: ff, fi, fl, etc. When I used v. 2.12 (I think, or 2.11) they were generated without any problem. But now, they aren't rendered anymore. Is it now required to call them explicitly? This is probably related to the fact that the font also used to render using a different optical weight than it does now (I'm using Garamond PP with optical sizes).

Below is a sample snip of code that used to generate the fi ligature and a lighter weight. Any help is appreciated.

   

\score {

\relative {

\set autoBeaming = ##f

c8 d e4 f8 e4 d8 f e4 \bar "|" 

 }

      \addlyrics{

  \override LyricText #'font-name = #"Garamond Premier Pro"

 \set fontSize = #1.2

A -- round me  the fire  will be quenched 

}

}

\version "2.13.37"  

United in adoration of Jesus,
