Re: problem with installed font when set-global-staff-size is changed

[Jonathan Scholbach]

Hi Simon,

thank you for your advice! Just for people reading my question in the
future: Your hint lead me to solve the problem with

\layout {
      #(layout-set-staff-size 17)
      \override LyricText.font-name = "EBGaramond"
      \override LyricText.font-size = #2
      \override Score.BarNumber.font-name = "EBGaramond"
      \override Score.BarNumber.font-size = #2
      \override Staff.InstrumentName.font-name = "EBGaramond"
      \override Staff.InstrumentName.font-size = #2
    }


(Setting the font-sizes manually is necessary since for some unknown
reason, the font-size decreases.) For my purposes that is an acceptable
workaround.

Greets,

Jonathan
