-By setting the object properties described below, you can select a
-font from the preconfigured font families. LilyPond has default
-support for the feta music fonts. Text fonts are selected through
-Pango/FontConfig. The serif font defaults to New Century
-Schoolbook, the sans and typewriter to whatever the Pango
-installation defaults to.
+@noindent
+A similar syntax may be used in markup mode, however in this case
+it is preferable to use the simpler syntax explained in
+@ref{Selecting font and font size}:
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+\markup {
+ \column {
+ \line {
+ \override #'(font-shape . italic)
+ \override #'(font-size . 4)
+ Idomeneo,
+ }
+ \line {
+ \override #'(font-family . typewriter)
+ {
+ \override #'(font-series . bold)
+ re
+ di
+ }
+ \override #'(font-family . sans)
+ Creta
+ }
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
-@itemize
-@item @code{font-encoding}
-is a symbol that sets layout of the glyphs. This should only be
-set to select different types of non-text fonts, e.g.
+@ignore
+@c FIXME: This needs an example -vv
-@code{fetaBraces} for piano staff braces, @code{fetaMusic} the
-standard music font, including ancient glyphs, @code{fetaDynamic}
-for dynamic signs and @code{fetaNumber} for the number font.
+The size of the font may be set with the @code{font-size}
+property. The resulting size is taken relative to the
+@code{text-font-size} as defined in the @code{\paper} block.
+@end ignore
-@item @code{font-family}
-is a symbol indicating the general class of the typeface.
-Supported are @code{roman} (Computer Modern), @code{sans}, and
-@code{typewriter}.
+Although it is easy to switch between preconfigured fonts,
+it is also possible to use other fonts, as explained in the
+following sections: @ref{Single entry fonts} and
+@ref{Entire document fonts}.
-@item @code{font-shape}
-is a symbol indicating the shape of the font. There are typically
-several font shapes available for each font family. Choices are
-@code{italic}, @code{caps}, and @code{upright}.

+@ref{The Feta font},
+@ref{Music notation inside markup},

-@item @code{font-series}
-is a symbol indicating the series of the font. There are
-typically several font series for each font family and shape.
-Choices are @code{medium} and @code{bold}.

+Any font that is installed on the operating system and recognized

-Fonts selected in the way sketched above come from a predefined
-style sheet. If you want to use a font from outside the style
-sheet, then set the @code{font-name} property,
