Re: LilyJAZZ

No, it's not a problem with Linux. Here's what you need to do:

1. Delete any LilyJAZZ files you currently have (they are old and error-prone as you've discovered). There are old files and instructions on the web and lilypondblog.org that just don't apply anymore.

2. Go back to http://fonts.openlilylib.org/lilyjazz and download the *new* font files and install them by following the instructions found on http://fonts.openlilylib.org/docs.html for the version of LP you are using.

3. Also on the docs page, download the *new* stylesheets (about 3/4 way down). Make sure the directory can be found in LP's include path.

That should do it. Then, all you need to do is add

\include "lilyjazz.ily"

near the top of your input file.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Thanks for all the responses.

I studied
http://fonts.openlilylib.org/
Another page abou this topic is
http://lilypondblog.org/2013/09/lilypond-and-lilyjazz/

I compiled the given example lilypond test codes making shure that the
font files are in the same directory. But I always end up with an error
and always "SFNT font table missing". I do not know the "SFNT font table"?

Curiously with the zipped code at the end of the posting
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-03/msg00647.html
I get a midi file, but an empty, white pdf document!

I use Linux, may be that Linux does not provide the "SFNT font table"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFNT

As it always happens despiate I am doing - is it a fundamental error of
Linux? Does anybody use LilyJAZZ sucessful with Linux?
