For the sake of completeness, I set the default version of ghostscript
to gs-gpl, ran the file through lilypond again, then viewed the file
with all of the pdf viewers that are on my system (which I believe to be
all of the pdf viewers available through the standard debian repositories).
Acrobat Reader (7.0) looks fine:

Evince (0.3.0) doesn't show the 3's or 5's in the time signatures:

GGV (Gnome Ghostview 2.8.5) doesn't show anything, for .pdf or .ps, and
no error message is shown at the command line:

GPDF (Gnome PDF Viewer 2.8.2) displays the 3's and 5's, but mangles them:

GV (3.6.1) looks fine:

For KGhostview and KPDF, when I used the version switch at the command
line, I got not only their versions, but the Qt version (3.3.4) and the
KDE version (3.3.2).
KGhostview (0.20) looks fine:

KPDF (0.3.3) has the same problem as Evince, it doesn't show the 3's or
the 5's:

GNUStep PDF viewer, ViewPDF (0.9) displays absolutely nothing. When I
open the file through the command line, the program is opened, but
without the file; when I open the file manually, debugging info is
printed at the command line, and the following window pops up:

And finally, Xpdf (3.00) looks fine:

Should I also send this email, along with the appropriate files, to the
mailing lists for Evince, GGV, GPDF, KPDF, and the GNUStep crowd?
