Re: fondu fails on newer OS X versions

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Thomas et al.,

While I was helping Mats look into this I noticed the same point. The defect 
means you can’t even use a basic system font like Times in a font name override 
in markup on the Mac.

Given that fondu is moribund, does this topic need to go the development list 
for discussion? Are there other tools that can be used instead of fondu that 
are currently maintained? Basing lilypond core code on unmaintained libraries 
for such important functionality such as font rendering in this type of use 
case does not seem robust.

What to do? In any case, a bug should be raised for lilypond don’t you think, 
even though this is an external program? If nothing else, others who encounter 
it will be able to search for it.
