Re: help on unreadable text (cygwin)

[Frédéric Bron]

I have already sent a font problem with lilypond on cygwin (2.6.4) but 
nobody could answer: on cygwin, by default, the font is "sans serif" and 
not roman. If I apply what's in the doc to be roman, then "\italic" does 
not work anymore.

There is also the problem you mention: on cygwin, the version is always 
late. I have tried to compile from source but was unable to do it (ready 
to retry if anyone can help me and if it works, ready to provide cygwin 
package to the community regularly). Now, I install both cygwin version 
(to have the documentation) and Windows version and I use an bash alias 
to use Windows version from cygwin (I agree that windows version is 
somewhat long).

By the way, could it be possible to include the documentation in Windows 
version?
