Hi all,

I was updating some old scores of mine and just noticed that the Haydn font
doesn't appear to work even though it is installed correctly, unless the
layout staff size is exactly the default 20. For example:
\version "2.24.4"

\book {
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "letter")
#(define fonts
(set-global-fonts
#:music "haydn"
#:brace "haydn"
#:roman "Georgia"
))
    %%#(layout-set-staff-size 15.71) %%5.5 mm
}

\score {
\relative c' { c4 d e f g a b c }
}
}
Produces this (i.e. font as expected, but staff spacing at 20 pts/7.0 mm):

If I leave it as is, but I put the commented line back in, I get this (i.e.
smaller staff size, but the font is the Emmentaler default):

Is this a limitation of the Haydn font or some unexpected bug? I do know of
a little work-around to get what I want (generating the scores at a larger
size and rescaling via an external app), but that's obviously
time-consuming, and I'd expect there should be a way to make this work
directly.
