Re: small fonts

[Mats Bengtsson]

The problem is that we don't have any smaller version of the Feta fonts,
but the easiest solution is to add two lines to the file
/usr/share/lilypond/*/scm/fonts.scm as described in the following patch:

     ((1 * * ancient 23) . ("feta23" "parmesan23"))

I think the result looks reasonable.

An alternative solution, which doesn't involve any hacking in the
existing installation is to do the following property settings:

\property FiguredBass.BassFigure \set #'font-relative-size = #0
\property FiguredBass.BassFigure \set #'font-magnification = #0.55
