The final chapter of this slightly wierd story is that I just upgraded to
RedHat 8.0 and now my lilypond PS output looks great on Ghostview. I can
only guess that there was something wrong with the way I installed
Ghostview, but it doesn't matter any more!

This is not the problem. If you followed the discussion, you'd see
that Colin produced a Postscript file which he claims looks weird
on his screen but fine on printer. His file looks fine over here.

I'm just wondering,
Are you using tetex, and is it configured to output PS higher than
300dpi??? That could be an explanation as to why the notes output dotty.

You can change this configuration using the texconfig utility. . . .(if
you are running under *nix enviroments. . . . )

Does the PDF file look wrong both in ghostview and Acrobat
or only with ghostview?

The extra space in the chord name can be fixed with a simple edit of

The staves and the clefs look right but the note heads and chord names
come out as a dotty mess.

That comes out fine, strangely.
I can't figure this out at all -

How have you looked at the PS file? Did you try to print
it out or have you used Ghostview. What version of
ghostscript do you use (gs -version)?

Yes, this is a remaining problem about the cygwin installation.
Since the generated fonts end up in separate directories for
each user, it's hard to remove them automatically in the
installation scripts.
However, Colin used RedHat where this shouldn't be a problem.
Also, the command 'kpsewhich f
forces the generated fonts to be recreated and solves the problem.

That's weird.
