Re: fonts not working as expected

Hi Abraham,

Is that also true if you use Alegreya Black?

Update: What’s now happening is that using

    \override #'(font-name . "Alegreya Medium")

outputs visible markup, styled in Alegreya [Regular] — the base document font — 
whereas using

    \override #'(font-name . "Alegreya Black")

outputs nothing (i.e., blank where there should be markup). All three font 
names appear in Frescobaldi’s auto-complete menu and Lilypond’s “show available 
fonts”…

In all three situations — no override, and with each of the two overrides seen 
above — the PDF contains *only* a reference to

    /BaseFont/XTCUKI+Alegreya-Regular/FontDescriptor

at least in "clear text".

Ugh…
Kieren.
