You have to build or download the Type1 version of the fonts, since that's what ly2dvi -p uses avoid the fuzzy looking bitmapped fonts in the PDF files.
Read http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/lilypond-user/2002-October/003014.html for instructions on how to build and install the fonts. Han-Wen has at some occasion sent out instructions on how to download prebuilt fonts from lilypond.org. Of course, all this should be clarified in the installation instructions. /Mats Quoting David Petrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Did you compile and install Lilypond yourself or did you > > install from an RPM, .dpkg or ...? > > i compiled and installed lilypond myself. > > > What Linux distribution do you use? > > SuSE 8.0 > > > Do you get the correct fonts if you call ly2dvi with the flags -p or > > -P? > > well, what i did originally do was call ly2dvi with the -p option. > the order is the following: > > ly2dvi -p file.ly > acroread (or whatever) file.pdf > > output: no note heads. > > gv file.ps > > output: no note heads > > xdvi file.dvi > > lots of output from metafont... then i see the xdvi file with the > note heads. > > ly2dvi -p file.ly (rerun) > > now the pdf and ps look fine. > > unless i change font size (paper16 or something). then i need to > rerun xdvi on the file. > > make sense? > > > /Mats > > thanks, > david > _______________________________________________ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
