Comment #5 on issue 952 by address@hidden: Replace Century Schoolbook  
font with TeX Gyre Schola
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=952

Thank you for your information.

I see. Harmonizing is important.
I've made some font tests.

font-old-urw.pdf is by current LilyPond default settings.
Century Schoolbook L (default roman font), Nimbus Sans L (default sans  
font), Nimbus Mono L (default typewriter font) don't contain greek glyphs  
except `Delta' and 'mu'.
There is no harmonizing in Greek glyphs.

font-gyre.pdf is by TeX Gyre fonts + DejaVu fonts.
Latin and Greek glyphs are harmonized.
However, Cyrillic glyphs are different.

Next, newer urw Nimbus fonts contain `production quality Greek and Cyrillic  
glyphs'.

http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=urw-core35-fonts.git

Unfortunately, Century Schoolbook doesn't contain them.
However, Nimbus Sans and Nimbus Mono contain them.
font-new-urw.pdf is by these new urw fonts.

Finally, I've tried to combine multiple fonts.
font-gyre-new-urw-nimbus.pdf is by TeX Gyre fonts + new urw Nimbus fonts +  
DejaVu fonts.

Which do you think the most appropriate to the default settings?
