Hi!

In CVS,
Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Feta-font.html#The%20Feta%20font
currently seems to be broken:  the "\char #xyz" statements in
mf/out/{feta,parmesan}*list.ly are applied on a text font rather than on
a feta/parmesan font.  At a first thought, a straight-forward "solution"
looks as follows:

        for m in charmetrics:
                escapedname=re.sub('_','\\\\\\\\_', m['name'])
-               file.write ('  s^\\markup { \\char #%d "%s" }\n' % (m['code'], 
escapedname))
+               file.write ('  s^\\markup { \\override #\'(font-family . music) 
\\char #%d "%s" }\n' % (m['code'], escapedname))
        file.write (r"""
 }
   \paper{


However, this does not work for the parmesan font, since the parmesan font
is accessed via font-family "ancient", not "music", but mf-to-table.py
does not know about the mapping {music<->feta, ancient<->parmesan}, as far
as I can see.

Using \musicglyph instead of \char is also problematic because of the "_"
in the name of many font symbols which is tricky to escape properly.

Any ideas how to fix this elegantly?

Greetings,
