Re: Using a semi-bold font

[tisimst]

Joram,

There's not a convenient pango interface (yet) for selecting variants outside the Regular/Italic/Bold/Bold Italic styles. However, with the way you are doing it, you should be able to just add "Semibold" to the original font name and mostly work (i.e., you can then also select the 'italic shape of you want). Then you could name the font-family 'semibold or something like that for easier identification/differentiation.

HTH,

Abraham

Hi,

I would like to use a semi-bold font in my score (for TextScript or
DynamicText). Is that possible? I tried this:

\version "2.19.21"

\paper {
   #(add-pango-fonts fonts 'textFont "Linux Libertine O" (/ (*
staff-height pt) 2.5))
}

{
  % when overriding font-name, the font-series can't be used anymore
  \override TextScript.font-family = #'textFont
  \override TextScript.font-series = #'bold
  \override TextScript.font-shape = #'italic
  a^"Que" a
  % I would like to choose semi-bold here:
  \override TextScript.font-series = #'medium
  a^"Que" a
}

I have Linux Libertine O installed and it comes with a semi bold font
series. I can use it in LibreOffice for instance.

Cheers,
Joram
