Thanks for replying. I'm definitely not an expert in this thing

I am not sure I am an expert :)

2. I though because it was monospace and better suited for aligning chord
notations with lyrics. But no hard requirement. I can switch back to

Usually it doesn't work this way. You can not set random font name to
asciidoctor elements in your theme file and expect it would be applied to a
document.

Theming (including how to use other fonts) is extensively described in a guide:
https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/blob/master/docs/theming-guide.adoc

But basically you should either use already defined fonts with their font names (as M +1mn)
or define your own font names with real ttf files placed "next" to a theme file.

3. I put back the font M+ 1mn

And did it work for you?

4. Not sure what you mean here. Can you share your tool chain and how a
typical project structure can bring the result you showed? It's really cool
knowing that it's possible...

It is just a sudo gem install asciidoctor-pdf in linux environment or just a
gem install asciidoctor-pdf in Windows (with ruby installed beforehand).
Check https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/#getting-started

To compile with default settings: asciidoctor-pdf filename.adoc

To add own theming consult asciidoctor-pdf parameters (you have to define path
to your theme, path to your fonts, extensions if you have any etc).

If you use vim then https://github.com/habamax/vim-asciidoctor might be handy.
