Re: Why -dshow-available-fonts doesn't list "Times Italic"

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please remind us about what operating system you use and which
LilyPond version. At least on Linux and Windows, I certainly get
lots of fonts that lists Italic as one of the available styles.
At the end of the list, you also get information on where LilyPond
looks for fonts, in the lines with
Config files: ...
Config dir: ...
Font dir: ...

This information could provide you some hints on why you don't
get the fonts you expect.

If you are on MacOS, then there seems to be some font-related bug
in the latest releases, which may provide some explanation.
