I rather suspect (that's a Pango issue) that the font name specified in LilyPond is tweaked (ignore case and spaces) in order to find the corresponding font file and then, font strings are extracted from the font file (see below).

The funny thing is: "my" LilyPonds (Linux and Windows) don't report BoldItalic for TeX Gyre Adventor, but actually Bold Italic. In other cases, however, LilyPond reports BoldItalic. When looking into the TFF Names of FontForge, there seems to be a connexion between string ID "Styles (SubFamily)" and the LilyPond output: *TeX Gyre Adventor* Styles (SubFamily): "Bold Italic" LilyPond reports: TeX Gyre Adventor:style=Bold Italic <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/adventor-font-info.png> *Century Schoolbook L* Styles (SubFamily): BoldItalic LilyPond reports: Century Schoolbook L:style=BoldItalic So, LilyPond just reports the "Styles (SubFamily)" string content of the font file: sometimes, it's "Bold Italic", sometimes it's "BoldItalic". There may also be a "Preferred Styles" string ID. In this case (if there they differ from "Styles (SubFamily)"), these strings will be reported separated by spaces. If there are Styles strings in more than one language (most of the times, it's only English (US)), these strings also will be enumerated separated by comma. Family and Preferred Family may also be both reported by LilyPond (separated by comma), as e.g. if a font comes in different weights etc., e.g. Preferred Family "Bodoni MT", Families "Bodoni MT", "Bodoni MT Black", "Bodoni MT Condensed", etc. *All in all:* Could you check your TeX Gyre Adventor FontForge TTF Names Styles string? Does it say BoldItalic or Bold Italic? May these irregularities be caused by the font files themselves?
