Ehm, are you really sure that's true? I was sure we didn't complete *that* step yet. If I'm not completely mistaken what Abraham developed for 2.19.12 was the ability to look up alternative fonts *in the LilyPond installation* (as opposed to having to rename the fonts which one would have to do before that). I was working on a patch to look for notation fonts in the system fonts but that didn't work out because of fontconfig's bad habit of always returning *something* if you request a font (well, it's not a bad habit in itself but for us it's a disaster because Arial may be an appropriate replacement font for Helvetica but definitely not for LilyBoulez).
