Hi,
A little question for Windows users: could one of you please
do the following test and report back?
1. Choose any font that is NOT installed on your system.
Random choice: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/alex-brush
It's very recognizable, so it'll be easy to tell if the
font is being properly used. I will assume you use this
font (“AlexBrush”) in the following.
2. Create a .ly file in some directory on your computer. Put
the font .otf/.ttf file(s) in that directory.
3. Add this code to the .ly file and compile it:
\version "2.24.1"
#(ly:font-config-add-directory "C:/path/to/directory")
\markup \override #'(font-name . "AlexBrush") "ABCD"
where "C:/path/to/directory" is the path to the directory
you put the .ly file and the font in, with 4 different
variants. Please test all 4 and let me know which work
and which don't.
a) Slashes in the path and a slash at the end:
C:/path/to/directory/
b) Slashes in the path and no slash at the end:
C:/path/to/directory
c) Double backslashes in the path and a double backslash at the end:
C:\\path\\to\\directory\\
d) Double backslashes in the path and no double backslash at the end:
C:\\path\\to\\directory
Thanks in advance.
Jean
Jean,
I know you only asked for one test, but it works for me also. One caveat: I accidentally put the font in a different directory than the .ly file, but of course, typed the correct path to the font.
