Make sure you have the font exactly correct, otherwise it defaults back
to sans :) Sometimes fonts are installed have names slightly different
than you'd expect them to have (as far as what the system 'sees'.)
Also, did you try the markup overrides I put in my later emails? It
should work as long as you have the font 100% correct named :)
{
?c1^\markup {? \override #'(font-name . "Minion Pro") "hello" } c
c^\markup {? \override #'(font-name . "InformalRoman") "hello" }
c c^\markup {? \override #'(font-name . "Raleway") "hello" } c
}
I must be missing something in the naming scheme. I've tried every variant, such as "Garamond Premier Pro Disp", "Garamond Premier Pro Display", "Garamond Premier Pro-Display", "Garamond Premier Pro-Disp", "GaramondPremrProDisp" etc... still nothing. :(
