Urs has the right idea. I never meant that the fonts needed to be included in the LilyPond code base, only more like an add-in function, so that probably answers my own question. For now, I'll look into the appropriate way/place to make these alternate fonts available to those who'd like to use them. Thank you all for your comments and thoughts on this matter! Happy Engraving! Abraham P.S. Urs, Unfortunately, the build scripts I use to create these fonts don't automatically pull the Bravura glyphs and put them in the right places for use in LilyPond. There were too many little things I did to put together the Profondo font that it's not an automated process. In any case, I don't think Bravura will be changing much, so I don't know if this will be much of a need in the future. I suppose an automated script for converting a SMuFL-compatible font to a LilyPond-compatible font could be created, but there'd have to be more of them out there for that to be useful since there's currently only Bravura follows this standard. I guess we'll see. Oh, and I looked into creating new functions so that the default ones can still be used. This is not difficult, but still requires a patched "font.scm" since the new functions also need to live in that file to work properly. They require some of the variables that exist only within the scope of the other classes/functions/variables in that file. I guess that's all for now :) -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Follow-up-question-to-alternate-music-fonts-tp164259p164385.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
