By setting the object properties described below, you can select a font from the preconfigured font families. LilyPond has default support for the feta music fonts. Text fonts are selected through Pango/FontConfig. The serif font defaults to New Century Schoolbook, the sans and typewriter to whatever the Pango installation defaults to.
font-encoding
is a symbol that sets layout of the glyphs. This should only be
set to select different types of non-text fonts, e.g.
fetaBraces for piano staff braces, fetaMusic the
standard music font, including ancient glyphs, fetaDynamic
for dynamic signs and fetaNumber for the number font.
font-family
is a symbol indicating the general class of the typeface.
Supported are roman (Computer Modern), sans, and
typewriter.
font-shape
is a symbol indicating the shape of the font. There are typically
several font shapes available for each font family. Choices are
italic, caps, and upright.
font-series
is a symbol indicating the series of the font. There are
typically several font series for each font family and shape.
Choices are medium and bold.
Fonts selected in the way sketched above come from a predefined
style sheet. If you want to use a font from outside the style
sheet, then set the font-name property,
{
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'font-name = #"Charter"
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'font-size = #2
\time 3/4
c'1_\markup {
\override #'(font-name . "Vera Bold")
{ This text is in Vera Bold }
}
}
Any font can be used, as long as it is available to Pango/FontConfig. To get a full list of all available fonts, run the command
lilypond -dshow-available-fonts blabla
(the last argument of the command can be anything, but has to be present).
The size of the font may be set with the font-size
property. The resulting size is taken relative to the
text-font-size as defined in the \paper block.
