RE: Yet another font problem

[Georg Dummer]

I've tryed this out.
Using the filename (with or without the extension) leads to a default font. 
Only the fontname (in some cases) brings the font into the PDF.

What's about fc-list Han-Wen mentioned? I have one in my cygwin environment
but not in my Lilypond Win-native.

Under Windows, I think you have to use the filename of the font (without the
".TTF" suffix), not the friendly-fontname.

In my Windows/FONTS directory I have

   FontName       FileName
   .....          .....
   BinnerD        BINNERN.TTF
   .....          .....
   .....          .....

which means I would have to use

    \override #'(font-name . "binnern")

on my system.  I don't have a font named "minion regular"; you do, of
course, so look for its FileName in your Windows/FONTS directory, or in
whatever directory your minion regular font is stored.
