Re: Changing Text Fonts

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Matthew,

> The example below does not work

To my knowledge, Lilypond has difficulty — i.e., fails completely — with older 
Mac OS True Type (.ttf) fonts, and Baghdad is one of those [at least on my 
machine]. Try another “crazy font”, one which is an OpenType or (preferably) 
PostScript font.

The name in the “Full Name” field of FontBook is, I believe, the one you should 
use.

I don’t believe so.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
