Re: "lilypond -dshow-available-fonts" doesn't display the user installed fonts in OS X

[Kevin Barry]

Manually installed fonts are usually placed in a different location to ones installed by the system. LilyPond looks in a few places to find user-installed fonts, but I have found that on OSX or Ubuntu that this location is no longer where user fonts are placed when installed.

To make downloaded fonts available to LilyPond place them in a .fonts folder in your home folder (just copy the individual files there) and then LilyPond should be able to find them. (In the past this is where operating systems like Ubuntu used to place them, but not anymore for some reason.)]

Text font. I want to change the font of the title of my score.

I’m not sure about the folder part. I’ve just installed these font by double clicking the downloaded ttf files, which in turn opens up the program Font Book where I can install them by pressing “Install Font”. I can then see my fonts in Font Book and I can then use them in different programs, such as TextEditor.

Text or music fonts? LilyPond or system folder?

I’m running the command

lilypond -dshow-available-fonts blablabla

to see which fonts that are available for me to use in Lilypond. When doing this, a bunch of fonts are listed, but not any of the fonts that I’ve installed myself (that’s clearly available to the system since I’m using them in other programs). What can I do?

I’m running Lilypond 2.19.16 on OS X 10.10.1.
