Re: How to select lyrics font?

I have now spent the best part of two nights trying to find out from all bits of documentation available how I can set a specific font to be used for lyrics.

Here's how I set my lyrics font:

myLyrics = \lyricmode {
    \override LyricText.font-family = #'typewriter
    \override LyricText.font-size = #'2

    Do, a deer, a female deer.
    Re, a drop of golden sun.
}

\paper {
  #(define fonts
    (make-pango-font-tree "Hardwood" 
                          "Highlander ITC TT" 
                          "LilyJAZZText"
                           (/ myStaffSize 20)))
}

The third font listed in the make-pango-font-tree is the one assigned to the typewriter style.  Which in this example is LilyJAZZText.  The first one is the general font, and the second one is used for chords.

HTH,
