+A simpler, but more limited syntax is also described in
+@ref{Music notation inside markup}.
+
+Three families of text fonts are made available: the
+@emph{roman} (serif) font, that defaults to New Century
+Schoolbook, the @emph{sans} font and the monospaced
+@emph{typewriter} font -- these last two families are
+determined by the Pango installation.
+
+Each family may include different shapes and series.
+The following example demonstrates the ability to select
+alternate families, shapes, series and sizes:
+
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=2]
+ \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-family = #'typewriter
+ \mark \markup "Ouverture"
+ \key d \major
+ \override Voice.TextScript #'font-shape = #'italic
+ \override Voice.TextScript #'font-series = #'bold
+ d'2.^\markup "Allegro"
+ r4
+@end lilypond
