lilypond for Debian ------------------- Dear music lover: Welcome to the wonderful world of music typesetting! This is the Debian package of GNU LilyPond. Hope you enjoy producing beautiful music scores with GNU LilyPond and other related packages! Old LilyPond Fonts Note: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you experience problems about missing EC fonts during the TeX run, please make sure you have the tetex-extra package installed. Older LilyPond Fonts Issue: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you installed the lilypond_0.1.48-1 or previous versions of the Debian GNU LilyPond package, please note the following: LilyPond comes with its own MF fonts starting with version 0.1.12. The old lilypond fonts were not listed in /usr/lib/texmf/fontname/special.map (from the teTeX 0.4 package), therefore the fonts were created in a non-standard directory somewhere under /var/spool/texmf. The problem was usually only aesthetic. TeTeX could create and find the *.tfm and *.pk files without any problems. However, if you experience any font problems (such as the note heads not showing up, characters in the wrong places, error messages from TeX), especially after upgrading to a new version of LilyPond, you may need to delete the relevant *.tfm and *.pk files under the directory /var/spool/texmf. You may also file a bug report about this if you like. Nonetheless, GNU LilyPond now comes with the standard "feta" fonts, and they are already listed in the latest teTeX 0.9 / Web2C 7.2 /usr/share/texmf/fontname/special.map file, so there shouldn't be any more problems!
