Dear typography enthusiasts on this list, I have a question that is related to Samples of LilyPond Output with Sabon Typeface <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2026-06/msg00136.html> but separate.
In this article (Sabon - Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabon>), I read about many digital versions of Sabon, including: 1. https://www.myfonts.com/collections/sabon-font-linotype 2. https://www.myfonts.com/collections/sabon-paneuropean-font-linotype 3. https://www.myfonts.com/collections/sabon-next-font-linotype 4. https://www.myfonts.com/collections/sabon-etext-font-linotype 5. https://www.myfonts.com/collections/sabon-font-monotype-imaging 6. https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/fontsite/savoy So many choices! My main questions: - How would you choose among these options? - Is any of them obviously “best,” “better,” or “worse” for use in my LilyPond scores? Context on my work: - Most of my scores use LilyPond’s default margins and default staff size. Paper size: US letter. - I use LilyPond’s default music font, Emmentaler. - Most users of my music read from hard copies, but a significant minority read PDFs from their iPads. Thanks in advance for any input and guidance that you may have. Gabriel PS Tina and Michael, thank you for Scale font types (serif/sans/typewriter) globally <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2026-06/msg00135.html>. It may prove useful for me!
