Re: Font problem when upgrade from 1.4.x to 1.6.8-2; (Cygwin)

[Mats Bengtsson]

I just tried to reinstall the whole cygwin environment from scratch
to try to repeat this problem.

It turns out to be a problem not in the lilypond package itself but
in the tetex-tiny package. As a workaround, you could rerun the
setup.exe file and add the package tetex-bin to the installation.
Unfortunately, the package is very large so I hope you don't connect
to internet using a phone modem.

I have not investigated fully what is wrong in tetex-tiny, but it
is somehow related to the font cmr8. The following test illustrates
the problem clearly:
tex testfont
  font to test: cmr8
  Commands: \table \bye
dvips testfont

When run with tetex-tiny, you get the courier font in the table
whereas you get the correct computer modern font with tetex-bin.
