Re: Font substitutions

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since LilyPond uses low-level TeX commands to select the font, make sure
that it works in a LaTeX file similar to the following one:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\font\myfont=bcor8a scaled 1000
\begin{document}
\myfont a
\end{document}

Once that works (with feta20 replaced by your font), it should work
also with LilyPond.

Do you have the same problem if you manually create the PS and PDF from
the DVI?
dvips -Ppdf -u+lilypond myfile.dvi
ps2pdf myfile.ps
