Hi all,
I noticed that since upgrading to 2.14, the default font for lyrics has
changed. I built both versions on Mac OSX 10.6.7, and compiled the same
input file for both. I tried editing font.scm to use "Century Schoolbook
L,serif" and rebuilding from source, to no avail. The typeface is still
ever so slightly different, and I think it looks distinctly worse than
the older versions. Am I choosing the wrong typeface? How can I revert
to the old font using Lilypond 2.14?
Thanks,

Image: new font on right (2.14), old font on left (2.13.46). Note how
the serifs for the W and h don't line up in the new font, and the r and
y overlap one another.

I'm not a font specialist but AFAICS the font on the left (i.e. 2.13.46)
does not look like "New Century Schoolbook L" (much like a typewriter).
So the 2.14 font on the right is the good, default font of LilyPond.
You must have used another font for 2.13.46 or maybe there was a font
problem in this specific version (maybe only on Mac OS X) that made
LilyPond use another font than "New Century Schoolbook L".
I don't recognize it though (as I said, I'm not a font specialist).
Cheers,
Xavier
I think Jon has mis-described his image. From his description, I'd be
pretty certain it's new font on left, old font on right.
