Hello,
I have a problem obtaining the correct font for TextScripts. When I
type
the following command:
c4^\markup \italic "legato"
it shows up all right in Frescobaldi but the svg file does not produce
the
correct font. Indeed, the source-code of the svg file only states
"serif"
as font.
I cannot reproduce this behavior. Here is my MWE for reference:
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
{ b'4 ^\markup \italic "Hello" }
%%%%
The relevant excerpt from the SVG file:
====
<text transform="translate(17.2358, 1.6730)" font-family="serif"
font-style="italic" font-size="2.2001" text-anchor="start"
fill="currentColor">
<tspan>Hello</tspan>
</text>

Oh, wait. I thought you meant the \italic was not working. It looks
like you were instead talking about the font family, not the style.
This behavior appears to be intended. The default font names for
\roman, \sans, and \typewriter are "serif", "sans-serif", and
"monospace" respectively. The SVG output engine simply embeds the
general font family name rather than consulting the current font-config.
Theoretically, this should end up mapping to the same actual font,
unless the SVG viewer uses a different font-config such as when running
on a different system.
If you need to specify the actual font, just set it in \paper:
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
\paper {
#(define fonts
(set-global-fonts
#:roman "Times New Roman"
#:factor (/ staff-height pt 20)))
}
{ b'4 ^\markup \italic "Hello" }
%%%%
====
<text transform="translate(17.2358, 1.5023)" font-family="Times New
Roman" font-style="italic" font-size="2.2001" text-anchor="start"
fill="currentColor">
<tspan>Hello</tspan>
</text>
