Q: metafont not being called unless i run xdvi

[David Petrou]

On 1.6.6 on my Linux box, if i simply look at postscript or pdf output
from Lilypond i don't get noteheads and lots of other symbols.  I need
to first run xdvi on the .dvi output, then the fonts are created.
Once created, I'm set and don't need to run xdvi again; unless of
course I try a different font size.

any ideas?

thanks,
david
