Re: Install LilyBoulez or other alternative fonts on Ubuntu

[Jacques Menu Muzhic]

Complement for those of us using Mac OS X:

the fonts files should be placed in:

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/fonts/otf 

and:

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/fonts/svg 

respectively.

So, what is the content (tree) of /usr/share/lilypond/2.19.62 in your
installation?

$ tree -d /usr/share/lilypond/2.19.62
/usr/share/lilypond/2.19.62
├── fonts
│   ├── otf -> /usr/share/fonts/lilypond
│   ├── source
│   └── svg
├── ly
├── ps
├── python
├── scm
└── tex

Oh my, now I finally realize why these folders are used at all ...
But guessing from "otf -> /usr/share/fonts/lilypond" - did you ever try
to simply copy the alternative fonts into that folder? Basically this
will be accessible from *any* LilyPond installation, provided the
package manager doesn't purge unknown files in that directory.

Yes, if I copy all the font otf files to /usr/share/fonts/lilypond, it is recognized and I can compile the snippet.
I don't think that these files will be purged by the package manager. I'll see.

Thanks for the help
