The exact error is:
; expected: ! syntax error
C 0; N rests-0; B 0.00 -156.25 375.00 0.00 ;

The version given is : afm2tfm(k) (dvips(k) 5.78) 8.1

noticed tetex 1.0 was released this week but the download is huge. I'll
get it if it might work, though.
Your post implies that a version of afm2tfm is supplied with Lilypond -
I couldn't find one anywhere in the 1.1.47 distribution.
Also, is there likely to be a problem with the lack of afm files for
the feta-braces, feta-nummer, feta-din and feta-test fonts?
Thanks in advance,
