Re: font finding problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

I really recommend to install the new stable version 2.6 instead.
There is an installation package at www.lilypond.org that should
work on more or less any Linux distribution.

If you want to stick to your current version for some strange reason,
then please search the mailing list archives (don't forget the archive
for bug-lilypond) and I'm sure that you will find explanations and
solutions. Your attempt to set TEXMF is certainly not the right
solution.
