Hi,

as others said, font-name overwrites all of font-family, font-series and
font-shape. You can set the font family like this:

\version "2.19.84"

\paper {
  % define a font ‘arial’ from the font called ‘Arial’
  #(add-pango-fonts fonts 'arial "Arial"
(/ (* staff-height pt) 2.5))
}

% use the font family ‘arial’ in your markup or header markup
\markup \override #'(font-family . arial) \line {
  \bold "Bold" \italic "italic" "regular"
}

You can override the entire font family, and then just use \italic, \bold, etc. 
as expected.
Search the archives for Abraham’s posts on how.

Hope that helps,

Overriding font-name also overrides the font slant and weight in a 
sticky way. Perhaps LilyPond ought to have a font-face property. The 
slant and weight can be specified along with the font name:


  subtitle = \markup \raise #1.0 \fontsize #-3 \override #'(font-name . 
"Arial Italic") "A Medley for Orchestra"


or

  subtitle = \markup \raise #1.0 \fontsize #-3 \override #'(font-name . 
"Arial Black Italic") "A Medley for Orchestra"

Because you effectively told LilyPond to ignore it.  font-name trumps 
font-family, font-series and font-shape.

Titles italic format ignored

[Marco Bagolin]

Hello all,

If I write:

\version “2.18.2”

...

\header {

…

title = \markup \override #'(font-name . "Arial Black")
\fontsize #+3 { \bold  "TITLE" }

subtitle = \markup \raise #1.0 \fontsize #-3 { \italic { "A
Medley for Orchestra" \null}}

…}



Output is :

*TITLE*

*A Medley for Orchestra*



But if I write this:



\header {

…

title = \markup \override #'(font-name . "Arial Black")
\fontsize #+3 { \bold  "TITLE" }

subtitle = \markup \raise #1.0 \fontsize #-3 \override
#'(font-name . "Arial") { \italic { "A Medley for Orchestra" \null}}

…}



Output is :



*TITLE*

A Medley for Orchestra



Why “italic” format is ignored ?

I tried to write \override #'(font-name . "Arial") in every position of
subtitle string, but result are the same…

I can’t find my mistake.

Someone can help me?


Thank you in advance
