I finally managed to upgrade to the latest version of Lilypond, from the 2.6.4 that I used to run. I'm very happy with the new features (especially the musica ficta option), but there is one change which I'm not quite as happy with: the fonts, more precisely: the way they look in [k|x]pdf. When I generated scores under 2.6.4, everything looked fine, but now the music fonts are not anti-aliased, with the result that every note looks filled - not ideal, to say the least. If I view the ps-files directly or the pdf files in Adobe Acrobat, it's still fine, and printouts from xpdf look the way they should. Is it the fonts that have changed? Or the generation? I searched the forums, and some reports similar to mine (but related to the text fonts, which are fine here) seem to indicate that it has to do with the package ec-fonts-mftraced. I have v. 1.0.12 installed (distro: ArchLinux). I can use ViewPS (in emacs) of course, so it's not a big problem, but I was wondering all the same. One last thing: When I aired the question in the Arch forum, it was suggested that I ask xpdf/kpdf/poppler dev for its support. Is that relevant?
