Re: feature request: abs-fontsize available for all text grobs

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello David,
thanks for your hint :)

Hello Kieren,
how do you like this solution?
It uses an engraver which acknowledges text-interface and font-interface 
(maybe we only need font-interface)
and then wraps found markups in 'text and 'long-text (for InstrumentName 
grob) in (markup #:abs-fontsize ... /text/)
It uses a property 'abs-font-size ... now lilypond complains about the 
unknown grob-property, but that doesn't matter for now ;)

* For instrumentName one could use different sizes for the short and the 
long version.
* If we only need to acknowledge the font-interface, this little piece 
could be simplified a little bit.
* We also could use the existing font-size property and use another 
method to "mark" it an absolute size

HTH
Cheers, Jan-Peter
