Problem finding correct Century Schoolbook fonts

[Patrick McCarty-3]

Hello,

I have come across an unusual problem in LilyPond's configure stage.

If my ~/.fonts directory contains the FontForge-generated Century
Schoolbook OTF fonts from a previous LilyPond compile, ./configure
detects *two* of these OTF fonts and *two* of my system PFB fonts.

Here is the content of my user font directory:

  $ ls ~/.fonts
  CenturySchL-Bold.otf      CenturySchL-Ital.otf
  CenturySchL-BoldItal.otf  CenturySchL-Roma.otf

And here is the output from ./configure:

  checking New Century Schoolbook PFB files... /home/pnorcks/.fonts/CenturySchL-Bold.otf /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059036l.pfb /home/pnorcks/.fonts/CenturySchL-Ital.otf /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059013l.pfb


This causes a compilation failure later in the build process, but the
above is clearly the source of the error.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

what's the status of this issue? Do you want me to open a tracker page?

Regards,
Valentin

We have been able to workaround this by simply deleting existing
cschbk fonts in ~/.fonts. It does not look like a bug of LilyPond, but
rather of the build scripts. The problem is, this issue will arise
again and again with the time if it is not fixed.

OK. So this definitely deserves a tracker page. Can you guys help me
with the wording?

IIRC the current state of our autoconf machinery, Century Schoolbook
font lookup is first attempted by FontConfig, and if it's successful,
the lookup stops. I hope we can refine fc-match lookup by excluding
paths that contain $HOME. I'm so overwhelmed with other things that it's
a good idea to add it in the tracker.

Best,
John

For a summary, maybe:

Configure detects incorrect set of Century Schoolbook fonts

I think a steps to reproduce would be best:

1) Extract the following fonts from your LilyPond installation, and
move them to ~/.fonts

  CenturySchL-Bold.otf
  CenturySchL-BoldItal.otf
  CenturySchL-Ital.otf
  CenturySchL-Roma.otf

2) Start a fresh git build with ./autogen.sh (in my case, I do
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr, but this shouldn't matter)

3) Configure will detect two of these OTF fonts and two of the system PFB fonts:

  checking New Century Schoolbook PFB files...
    /home/pnorcks/.fonts/CenturySchL-Bold.otf
    /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059036l.pfb
    /home/pnorcks/.fonts/CenturySchL-Ital.otf
    /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059013l.pfb

Configure *should* detect these fonts:

  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059016l.pfb
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059036l.pfb
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059033l.pfb
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059013l.pfb

That's it!

Thanks,
Patrick
