Re: Installing Alternate Music Fonts with Frescobaldi and Homebrew Installation on M1 Mac

[Jesse Wiener]

Hey Hans, 

Yeah - I tried installing them using FontBook before I did anything else. No dice. 

Matt - unfortunately, creating local.conf file in the Font folder didn't do it either. 

I know lilypond is looking at the shared lilypond fonts folder because when I try to refer to a font that's not in there, the error I get is that the font isn't there. If I try to use the one I've been testing that is in the folder, I get the seg fault & crash. 

So it's seeing the font - I feel like something else must be going on. 

Thank you!

Best,

Jesse

I think just installing them as system fonts should work. Open the Font Book app and drop them there (or put them in /Library/Fonts/ say from the Finder).
