Re: setup help
??? Are you saying that you still don't get the desired fonts? Try the following: Run the command: tex testfont Fill in: Name of font to test = feta20 * \table * \bye Look at the file using xdvi: xdvi testfont you should see a table with different musical symbols. Run dvips -Ppdf -G0 -ulilypond.map testfont Look at the Postscript file using gv (ghostview) gv testfont.ps (or ghostview testfont.ps) you should see the same result. Try to convert the file to PDF: ps2pdf testfont.ps Look at the PDF file: acroread testfont.pdf Again the document should look the same. These steps exactly mimic what ly2dvi does internally. If the above example works, ly2dvi should also work. Otherwise, it could help us sort out what kind of problems you have. /Mats Aaron Mehl wrote: Thanks I applied it and no more error and no more fonts in pdf and ps output.

Re: setup help
I don't realize where you managed to find RPMs for version 1.7.9, I can't find them anywhere linked from the Lilypond web page. Anyway, I hope that the RPM actually contained the vector fonts required for making PDF files. The directory /usr/share/lilypond/1.7.9/fonts/Type1/ (or something like that) should contain a number of *.pfa fonts, for example feta20.pfa. What do the folowing commands return? kpsewhich feta20.mf kpsewhich feta20.pfa Maybe it helps to run the command 'texhash' (as root) to update the TeX file name database. If you don't specifically want the PDF files, just use ly2dvi with the flag -P instead to get just the .dvi and .ps versions of the score. /Mats Aaron Mehl wrote: Hi I am very new to Lily Pond.

Please reread the install help files again, and try following the instructions step by step. If one step doesn't work, ask about that step. But right now we don't have enough information to help you. Do you have all the prerequisites installed? And could you try installing the stable version (1.6.6) rather than the development branch (1.7.x)? Lilypond uses a numbering scheme like the Linux kernel does -- if the middle number is odd, it's a development version; if the middle number is even, it's a "stable" version.
