If that is really all that Daniel wanted to accomplish without the flexibility of being able to use the other font variants, then what you suggested is a perfectly acceptable way to do that.

Here's what's going on. When you override 'font-name, you are very
specifically changing the font to the one file who's internal name is
"Arial". In other words, it doesn't tell LilyPond that there are other
variants (like Italic, Bold, and Bold-Italic), just the exact one you
specify. That is why nothing seems to happen when you use \italic here. If
LilyPond doesn't think a italic/bold/whatever font variant is there, it
falls back to the regular variant.
So, what is to be done? In order for \italic, \bold, etc. to work in a
markup, what you need to do as add Arial as a font-family. The easiest way
is to set it as one of the main global text fonts, like 'sans. If you are
using 2.18, then use make-pango-font-tree, as described here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/fonts#entire-document-fonts
make-pango-font-tree takes three inputs in this order: a roman (or serif)
font, a sans-serif font, and typewriter (or monospace) font. So, all you
need to do is make sure that you put "Arial" as the second input. Then, in
the markup you can do
title = \markup { \sans \italic "This is a test" }
and it will display in the correct form you expected.
Hope that helps,
Abraham

Marking up titles - font-name and italics
Hello,
I have what seems to be a rather simple problem. I am trying to format the font
of my piece title. I can change it to italics, and I can change the font name,
but I just can't seem to do both. Please keep in mind that I am extremely new
to lilypond, so I may be missing something simple, but here is my code.
\header {
title = \markup {
\override #'(font-name . "Arial")
\italic
{This is a test}
}
}
I thought that maybe it was the braces around my text so I took them out, I've
tried putting quotes around, I've tried changing the order of my markup. I just
can't seem to do both font-name and another markup. Could someone please tell
me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!
