Ok, I did some further testing ... Test setup: install versions one at a time to C:\lilypond and issue c:\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe -V file.ly twice and see if it halts at Building font database both times
2.6.5 seemed to work properly didn't find anything 2.7 at ( http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/mingw/) 2.8.0-1 exhibits the same behavior (i.e. is buggy) This thread http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg10945.htmlseems to talk about the same behavior.. I can also provide a FC_DEBUG=255 log if need be, but as the log file is 17.5MB ! I would need to know what to look for in order for me to find something useful from it.. anything more you would need to solve this issue? regards, Simon ps. what funky business is the uninstaller up to, given that it seems to be a magnitude slower to uninstall the files than install them ?
