Re: font problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

OK, what happens if you do
ps2pdf testfont.ps
and view the resulting PDF file?

If the PS file looks OK, then I would definitely suspect your
Ghostscript (which is the program doing the job in ps2pdf).
Do you get the same problem both when viewing the PDF on screen
and when you print it on paper? Could it even be your PDF viewer
(Acroread?)?

Anyway, updmap is definitely not an issue, since the font map
file is specified explicitly by lilypond when it calls dvips.
In other words, there's no idea to use updmap.
