Hi,

I need larger fonts for Lilypond. How can I generate them? What tools did you use to make the fonts you use?

I currently make large print music by composing with the "paper26.ly" fonts, and a papersize of "a6", then using a script to feed the dvi output to dvips like this:

....................
#!/bin/sh
INFILE=$1
dvips -E -i -o $INFLIE -t landscape -O 1.25in,0.0in -x 2000/1000 $INFILE
....................

It works fairly well, but even this isn't quite large enough, and I'd like to be able to generate my own templates like you do with:

\include "paper42.ly" <---- for example

Now, I actually tried this, but it didn't work. I thought maybe you generated the fonts to scale on the fly, but I guess not.

Thanks,

Ruven Gottlieb
