Hi Luis -- I don't think ec-fonts is part of this problem. Looks like you are crashing while Metafont is trying to generate a feta font -- that shouldn't involve ec-fonts at all. What is happening is that not only is Metafont failing, but it is not even generating a log. Do you get clean results f

What version of teTeX are you using? If it's really ancient you might want to upgrade. (Metafont is part of the teTeX package, which is required for building Lilypond.) The current stable version of teTeX 3.0, but most Linux distributions are shipping 2.0.2 (which is still good enough). --Danie
