Re: lilypond 1.6.10 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 pdf-output not readable

[Mats Bengtsson]

If I remember correctly, the vector fonts were not included in
the Fink distribution at the time of lilypond 1.6.10.
I guess that if you use 'ly2dvi -P test.ly', you will get a
PS file with all the notes in it. Unfortunately, it will not
look so good on the screen when converted to PDF, since it
contains bitmapped fonts.

However, it should be possible to install these font files manually.
Download the file 
http://serpent.laymusic.org/~lconrad/lilypond/lilypond_1.6.9-1_i386.deb
(the server is slow, so be patient).
Run the following commands:

ar x lilypond_1.6.9-1_i386.deb data.tar.gz

tar -zxvf data.tar.gz ./usr/share/lilypond/1.6.9/fonts/type1/

mv ./usr/share/lilypond/1.6.9/fonts/type1/ 
/usr/share/lilypond/1.6.10/fonts/type1/

texhash

Now, hopefully, ly2dvi -p should produce the correct result.
However, as has already been pointed out, I recommend to upgrade
to a more recent version.
