1.8.3 Fonts

Fonts in LilyPond are handled by several libraries; two of them are of relevance to the user: FontConfig is used to detect available fonts, and selected fonts are then rendered by Pango to display text strings.

This section shows how to access fonts in LilyPond, and how to change them in scores.
