So I am afraid that things are rather weird at my side: input/regression/font-name-add-files.ly:244:4: error: GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here # (rmdir dummyfontdir) Directory not empty Finding the ideal number of pages...

Is that an artifact of my freetype library or something? -- David Kastrup
