Comment #5 on issue 952 by [email protected]: Replace Century Schoolbook
font with TeX Gyre Schola
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=952
Thank you for your information.
I see. Harmonizing is important.
I've made some font tests.
font-old-urw.pdf is by current LilyPond default settings.
Century Schoolbook L (default roman font), Nimbus Sans L (default sans
font), Nimbus Mono L (default typewriter font) don't contain greek glyphs
except `Delta' and 'mu'.
There is no harmonizing in Greek glyphs.
font-gyre.pdf is by TeX Gyre fonts + DejaVu fonts.
Latin and Greek glyphs are harmonized.
However, Cyrillic glyphs are different.
Next, newer urw Nimbus fonts contain `production quality Greek and Cyrillic
glyphs'.

Unfortunately, Century Schoolbook doesn't contain them.
However, Nimbus Sans and Nimbus Mono contain them.
font-new-urw.pdf is by these new urw fonts.
Finally, I've tried to combine multiple fonts.
font-gyre-new-urw-nimbus.pdf is by TeX Gyre fonts + new urw Nimbus fonts +
DejaVu fonts.
Which do you think the most appropriate to the default settings?
