Re: Changing Text Fonts

Matthew,

If Kieren is right about the font format, you might try using a free online TTF-to-OTF converter on the font file you'd like to use. Other than that, it looks like your syntax is correct. You could also change one of the main document fonts to be the one you are trying to use.

Hello, I am brand new to this and trying to learn how to change the fonts used for text elements.  In this case, Title.

The example below does not work (I'm using a crazy font for the example, in actuality I would use something else, but this proves for sure that the Font is not being changed).

Attached is a picture of the Font Book application on my Mac.  How do I know the exact name of the font-name that should be used in the ly file?  Could this differ from what I see in the FontBook?

Also, I usually like to increase the kerning of the Title.  Is this possible?

Thanks.

\header {

  title = \markup {

    \override #'(font-name . "Baghdad")

    "This my Masterpiece"

  }

}

\paper {

  #(set-paper-size "letter")

}

\score {

  <<

    \violinPart

    \marimbaPart

  >>

  \layout { }

  \midi { }

}
