I just installed lilypond (v. 2.6.4) under Windows (cygwin) using the cygwin setup program. Although I can run the program and generate PS and PDF files OK, and no error messages are produced, no text appears on the output. The notes are fine, but lyrics are completely blank (though I can see some punctuation...)
I assume it's a font problem, but don't know where to look. By the way, as well as installing lilypond, I also installed tetex (everything I could find) and ghostscript (v. 8.50). In case this is helpful, here is the output from lilypond in verbose mode when processing a simple file that is supposed to contain some text: >lilypond -V test.ly GNU LilyPond 2.6.4 LILYPOND_DATADIR="/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4" LOCALEDIR="/usr/share/locale" Effective prefix: "/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4" Initializing FontConfig... adding font directory: /usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/fonts/otf/ adding font directory: /usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/fonts/type1/ adding font directory: /usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/fonts/svg/ Processing `test.ly' Parsing...[/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/init.ly[/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly /dec larations-init.ly[/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/music-functions-init.ly][/usr /sha re/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/nederlands.ly][/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/drumpitch-i nit. ly][/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/chord-modifiers-init.ly][/usr/share/lilypon d/2. 6.4/ly/script-init.ly][/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/scale-definitions-init.l y][/ usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/grace-init.ly][/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/midi -ini t.ly[/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/performer-init.ly]][/usr/share/lilypond/2. 6.4/ ly/paper-defaults.ly[/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/titling-init.ly]][/usr/sha re/l ilypond/2.6.4/ly/engraver-init.ly][/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/dynamic-scri pts- init.ly][/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/spanners-init.ly][/usr/share/lilypond/ 2.6. 4/ly/property-init.ly]][test.ly] Interpreting music...
