Sterling -

What do you use to view .dvi files?

Browsing for a stand-alone Windows viewer, I've come up dry?

Subject: default fonts problem solved


Hi everyone,

I was having problems with my fonts in lilypond 2.4.5.  If I created a file
(.ly) and ran lilypond file.ly, the resulting .dvi file looked great.  The
title and all text was a nice font.  When I tried using xpdf and gv to view
the pdf and ps files that were also created, the fonts looked like some
typewriter font with poor kerning.

However...

If I run 'dvips file.dvi' I get a beautiful output in .ps.  To get the same
output in pdf, I need to run ps2pdf (dvipdfm does not seem to translate all
the note stems and such - there is probably a method for calling the correct
font file but I am not too concerned right now).

The same goes for lilypond-book... I need to run the dvips command without
the "-u+ec-mftrace.map" option to get the correct results.  This may be a
bug or some documentation that is incorrect with my current version of
lilypond.

Sterling
