RE: GTK and LilyPond

Hi, This sounds like a case of .dll hell. There are a few things that you can try doing: 1) Changing the order of paths to lilypond and/or gtk libs in your PATH variable 2) About the renaming of the .dlls that the installer asks you to do: LET IT DO IT! LilyPond will cope fine with that, as I'

LilyPond 2.7.32 File Sizes

Hi, I think that it has been mentioned several times before that the current LilyPond CVS versions produce PDF's with large file sizes. The culprit is the embedding of some fonts roughly 20 to 30 times (or once for each character that uses that font?). However, LilyPond's own Feta font doesn't
