You could use this technique perhaps...
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/change-the-font-for-all-markups-td171730.html
Depends I guess on how you setup your document fonts and how many
markups you are wishing to change (all/one)...
Does this help?
The problem I am still having is getting pango or lilypond to recognize the variant widths and weights of these pro line fonts. as soon as I use \override #'(font-name . "Garamond Premier Pro Display") nothing happens. It reverts to sans.
Does this help clarify? So it's still not working. :(
What OS are you on? I know it’s a bit overwhelming, but have you checked to see what font names show up with the show-available-fonts option? This may help narrow down why it can’t be found by Pango. With as complex as the Garamond Pro family is, it’s possible that Pango isn’t parsing the font metadata correctly (or maybe the metadata itself isn’t formed correctly) to identify that specific variant.
Best,
Abraham
