@node Font selection
@subsection Font selection
-Most graphics in LilyPond are composed of characters of fonts. You can
-alter the characteristics of the font by setting certain grob
-properties. The mechanism that is used for this resembles La@TeX{}'s New
-Font Selection Scheme. Within this scheme, a font is entirely
-characterized by its font name.
-
-For each grob that uses fonts (in other words, each grob that supports
-@code{font-interface}) a font-name must be selected before it can be
-printed. The font name is selected by looking at a number of grob
-properties:
+The most common thing to change about the appearance of fonts is
+their size. The font size of a @internalsref{Voice},
+@internalsref{Staff} or @internalsref{Thread} context, can be easily
+changed by setting the @code{fontSize} property for that context:
+@lilypond[fragment,relative=1]
+ c4 c4 \property Voice.fontSize = #-1
+ f4 g4
+@end lilypond
+ This command will not change the size of variable symbols, such as
+beams or slurs. You can use this command to get smaller symbol for
+cue notes, but that involves some more subtleties. An elaborate
+example of those is in @file{input/test/cue-notes.ly}.
+
+@cindex cue notes
+@cindex font size
+@cindex size
+
+The font used for printing a grob can be selected by setting
+@code{font-name}, e.g.
+@example
+ \property Staff.TimeSignature
+ \set #'font-name = #"cmr17"
+@end example
+You may use any font which is available to @TeX{}, such as foreign
+fonts or fonts that do not belong to the Computer Modern font family.
+Font selection for the standard fonts, @TeX{}'s Computer Modern fonts,
+can also be adjusted with a more fine-grained mechanism. By setting
+the grob properties described below, you can select a different font.
+All three mechanisms work for every grob that supports
+@code{font-interface}.
@table @code
@item font-family
@code{roman} (Computer Modern), @code{braces} (for piano staff
braces), @code{music} (the standard music font), @code{ancient} (the
ancient notation font) @code{dynamic} (font for dynamic signs) and
-@code{typewriter}
-
+@code{typewriter}.
+
@item font-shape
A symbol indicating the shape of the font, there are typically several
font shapes available for each font family. Choices are @code{italic},
This is a feature of the Computer Modern Font: each point size has a
slightly different design. Smaller design sizes are relatively wider,
which enhances readability.
-
-@item font-name
- The name of the font, as a string, e.g. @code{"cmr12"}. This overrides
-all other font-qualifiers.
-You may use this to use special fonts, which are not a part of the
-style sheet, or which have special encodings.
-
@end table
-
-The font is selected by taking the first font that satisfies all
-qualifiers specified. You can override any of these fields through
-@code{\override} and @code{\revert}. The special value @code{*} matches
-any value for that qualifier. The value @code{*} is needed to
-override default settings which are always present.
-
+For any of these properties, the value @code{*} (i.e. the @em{symbol},
+@code{*}, entered as @code{#'*}), acts as a wildcard. This can be used
+to override default setting, which are always present. For example:
@example
- \property Lyrics.LyricText \override #'font-series = #'bold
- \property Lyrics.LyricText \override #'font-shape = #'*
+ \property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'font-series = #'bold
+ \property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'font-family = #'typewriter
+ \property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'font-shape = #'*
@end example
@cindex @code{font-style}
-There are also pre-cooked font selection qualifiers. These are selected
-through the grob property @code{font-style}. For example, the style
-@code{finger} selects family @code{number} and relative size @code{-3}.
-Styles available include @code{volta}, @code{finger}, @code{tuplet},
-@code{timesig}, @code{mmrest}, @code{script}, @code{large}, @code{Large}
-and @code{dynamic}.

-The Feta font provides musical symbols at six different sizes. These
-fonts are 11 point, 13 point, 16 point, 20 point, 23 point, and 26
