Hrm?  I'm missing something here... I'm still manually doing
# ln -s ~/usr/pkg/lilypond/share/lilypond/<VERSION>/fonts/type1 ~/.fonts

is there a way to avoid having to update this every time?

spark:~ gperciva$ set | grep FONTCONFIG
FONTCONFIG_FILE=/sw/share/fontconfig-path/fontconfig-path.conf
spark:~ gperciva$ more /sw/share/fontconfig-path/fontconfig-path.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>
        <dir>/sw/share/fontconfig-path</dir>

<!--
  Load regular configuration file
-->
        <include>/etc/fonts/fonts.conf</include>

</fontconfig>



Is this what's expected?  I'm compiling lilypond from CVS with some
old fink patches (cira 2.5.23, I think -- it doesn't complain, so I 
haven't
dared to change anything).
