| Hello Abraham and Stan
thanks for your replies. I cleared the font cache as it was proposed by Abraham ( howto), and i also made use of the options that are given in the font book.app (looking for duplicate fonts, removing non-standard system fonts etc) It did not help yet. I also had a look to the Finale forum as it was proposed, and it seems there are really some major font problems in the current mac OS. Then I noticed that i have about 240 fonts in my font library (where do they all come from?) and there were another 200 moved automatically to the folder called „fonts_removed“ by the fontbook.app. So for sure i will have to check if i really need all these fonts (I already know don’t) and reduce their number.
Stan pointed out that the lilyJAZZfonts in his system do have a slightly different name. As far as i remember, there was a suggestion here once to rename them from LilyJAZZ* ( version prior to lilypond 2.18.2, by Thorsten Hämmerle) to lilyjazz* (2.18.2 and later, by Abraham). I remember the older version was also installed in my computer once. So this might be a hint where the problem might come from. If i gonna find a solution, i’ll post it here. Meanwhile i’ll switch to another computer..
Thanks again Christoph
On my Mac with the same OS X (10.11.4) and version of Lilypond, Christoph’s code produces the expected results.
One difference in installation is is that the .chord and .text font files are installed in the Lilypond app, in the same font directories mentioned. Mine are named LilyJAZZChord.otf and LilyJAZZText.otf, however. If I recall, that was the way they were named when they were first introduced.
Stan All the lilyjazz-11.otf, etc. files are also in that directory.
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

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
