A pdf of dulcimer tablature here:
https://www.dulcimertab.com/wp-content/uploads/tab/home_on_the_range.pdf
displays in Firefox showing notes. Printing that pdf in lodraw substitutes “U” and “V” for the notes.
What font is required to get lodraw to print the note symbols?
Thanks,
Mike

The PDF seems to be created by TEFview Handbuch - Installation. In the PDF itself (looked at it with an editor) I see hints to font Tef265.

Why do you need to open the PDF file in LibreOffice? For printing you can use Firefox.

Firefox here only allows to print to PDF and I’ve not yet found how to tell it to use lp or give it the 192.168.1.4 address.

FF version 140.4.0esr (aarch64)

I have tested using the Tef265.tff font. I have saved the file as .fodg and used an editor to replace all occurrences of “Unknown” with “Tef265”. You can get the music symbols, but the position of the frames are too low and I see no simple way to correct that.

I would try to get the printer working. Have you already contacted a Linux community? I’m on Windows 11 and cannot help you in this regard.

Another idea: Create screenshots (e.g. using Firefox), arrange these images in LibreOffice and print that.
