Re: lilyjazz fonts on Mac / Win

[Abraham Lee]

Christoph,

I don't own a Mac, nor do I have access to one, so I'm not the most qualified to answer this question. What you've described is exactly how you should do it. However, I have noticed that users of Finale have had similar issues on a Mac, so I think it's not specific to LilyPond. The issues could be totally unrelated, but you never know. 

What they seem to do that alleviates the problem is clearing out the font cache (sorry, I'm not sure how to do that). Font Book may have some tools to help you out, too. I'd go to the Finale forum (forum.makemusic.com) and look through the topics on the Macintosh user subforum. There have been plenty lately on this topic. 

Best,

Abraham

Hello

i am still trying to find out why the lilyjazz fonts do not work properly on my computer (mac os x) and i hope to get some advice here…
The fonts "lilyjazz-text" and "lilyjazz-chords“ were installed in the system font location, the ones named lilyjazz-11.otf etc were copied to 

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/fonts/otf
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/fonts/svg

It says everything ok, but on the mac text and chords appear in a standard system font.

I did the same on a windows system, and the result seems to be as expected. (please see examples below)
Could this be a bug?

Thanks for any advice.
Christoph
