thanks to all the feedback I got my head around the matter and could complete a pull request for Frescobaldi.
I encourage anybody who runs Frescobaldi from the Git repository to check out the 'show-available-fonts' branch and test the function "LilyPond=>Show Available Fonts...".
Hi, when running with the -dshow-available-fonts option I get (among others) a list of font familes with entries like the following:
family Verdana
Verdana:style=Standard,Normal,obyčejné,Κανονικά,Regular,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta
family Kepler Std
Kepler Std,Kepler Std Light Cn Disp:style=Light Condensed Display,Regular
What do the different output formats refer to: some with a ":style=" part, some with direct font names.
And in some cases I find multiple entries for a font family
family Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica LT Std:style=Oblique,Italic
family Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica LT Std,Helvetica LT Std Cond:style=Bold Condensed,Bold
family Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica LT Std,Helvetica LT Std Cond:style=Condensed,Regular
(with many more entries in this case).
And these mixes of font name conventions:
family Helvetica Neue LT Std
Helvetica Neue LT Std,HelveticaNeueLT Std Cn:style=77 Bold Condensed Oblique,Bold Italic
I'm somewhat confused what to make out of this diverse information.
I'm looking into this because I'd like to try making a better dialog for showing fonts in Frescobaldi.
Thanks for any explanations
Urs
