Thank you both for your reply and especially the video!
Unfortunately, it still isn't working. After saving all the different sized
fonts using the same method you showed in video, if you then copy the new
fonts in LilyPond font folder and call for them, you'd get an ugly output
(as LP can't access the correct glyphs), and also the error message :
"Erreur FreeType : SFNT font table missing"

So I guess it is related to this SFNT table that I can achieve to put in the
OTF file... I'm sorry Werner, but your explanation is bit too complicated
for me to understand! TTX also seems to be only available for Linux and I
don't know where to find this gen-emmentaler-scripts.py file!
