::Thanks, but are you sure that the CJK font is working correctly? I tried to modify the [[UTF-8]] snippet to trigger a re-rendering, but I still can't see any Japanese... -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 20:44, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

:::Oops, indeed. But I don't understand why. On the server, <code>-dshow-available-fonts</code> does list "Noto Serif CJK JP". And curiously, if I remove all font settings and compile the code with different versions, it starts working between 2.25.12 and 2.25.13.

::::Ah, I forgot that Google added Font Variation (VF) versions of the CJK fonts, and the various GNU/Linux distros eagerly took them to make the font bundles much smaller. Older LilyPond versions cannot reject these fonts correctly.

::::For me it works with 2.24.4 if you use the font <code>[https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk/blob/main/Serif/OTF/Japanese/NotoSerifCJKjp-Regular.otf NotoSerifCJKjp-Regular.otf]</code> (probably also installing the [https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk/blob/main/Serif/OTF/Japanese/NotoSerifCJKjp-Bold.otf bold version] for completeness), and this font is found first. -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 04:24, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
