The situation is even more strange. I have installed the gv viewer and currenly: - gv shows and prints the lyric tie correctly. It shows a tiny dialog that asks for a command, default is "lpr", I simply accept. - evince shows the lyric tie correctly. Prints it strangely misplaced. - lpr command from a terminal prints it strangely misplaced, too. - lilypondtool builtin PDF viewer shows it misplaced. So, the winner is gv. Adobe reader is not an option. Although I already know that fontconfig settings cause my problems, I encounter difficult to climb that mountain and I need a solution that just works right now, in the meantime while I finally understand how to correctly set things up. It's enigmatic why lpr on console doesn't work well, whilst gv's "lpr command" does. -- Francisco Vila.
