changing default font

[Sterling MacNay]

Hi again,

My default font for titles and any markup is some sort of typewriter
with very poor kerning.  How does one change this to something like a
bookman or some other font installed on my computer.  I am running a
linux system.  All the example files I see don't specify a font but the
output is lovely.  Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a bug.  What OS/distro, what version of lilypond do
you have, was it packaged?

Hi Graham,

I am running lilypond 2.4.5 in Debian "testing" meaning I grab the
source from the Debian "sid" distro.  I run Debian "testing" which is
Sarge with some newer packages.  This was problem evident before Sarge
came out.  I see that when I run xdvi file.dvi, it looks fine (fonts do)
but when I look at the same .ps or .pdf file (all generated when I ran
lilypond file.ly), the strange fixed-space font is there.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Sterling

I hope the ec-fonts-mftraced package was installed successfully as
well, since it contains that fonts used for titles and markup.
By the way, if you for some reason have teTeX version 3.0 instead
of the default 2.04 in testing, than you have to fix some
incompatibilities as is described in some emails in the mailing
list archives.

Hi,

I am seeing the following versions of software (packages) on my Debian
"testing" machine:

ec-fonts-mftraced: Version: 1.0.10a-1
lilypond: Version: 2.4.5-2
tetex-base: Version: 2.0.2c-8

All seems to have installed fine.  No errors.  If this looks correct,
could it be a .map file that is causing this font problem?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sterling
