I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.4, Using the latest binary (2.7.36) I want to use Adobe's Garamond Premier Pro (OTF) for all of my lyrics. I know the several methods for choosing fonts, and they work, but the kerning is not right. (looks decent, but not great) My understanding is that this is an issue with how Lilypond uses Pango. Fine, but I need to use the precise kerning metrics of my font that all the rest of my apps use. I've tried converting my font with FontForge to TTF (thinking maybe it handles kerning with TTF differently) but lilypond fails to generate the PDF using the converted font. Must I use the TeX backend, and if so, could someone walk a non-guru through the steps? (I'm comfortable at the commandline, compiling, basic troubleshooting, etc.)
