Can create .ps but not .dvi

Here is newbie problem. I installed the version of lilypond in my distro (suse 8.2). Following the examples I can use the ly2dvi program and create simple postscript files that look fine with ggv. However, using the -p option I get errors saying that various fonts cant be found. I'm not sure how

spacer lyric?

Is there such a way I can create a 'spacer lyric'? E.g. if I have a four part song, which shares the same lyrics 90% of the time, but differs the remaining 10%, I don't want to print duplicate lyrics 4 times, 90% of the time. I want to space the lyrics out until they diverge. I read the manual (

Mostly, the music corresponding to the melisma is typeset with a slur over the notes. LilyPond knows about this practice and will consider all the slured notes as a single syllable, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v1.8/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Printing-lyrics.html If you don't want the slur,
