Re: Output of 2.8.6 Windows version

[Ossie Wilson]

Thanks Mats for the very fast assistance.

1. I am using Windows 2000. I would like some packet of programs to be carried 
to my computer with XP ( not connected to 

internet to avoid hassle of checking for all the spyware)

2. GSView will print out .ps files (so the programmer says, anyway).

3. This is the last part of the log produced by LilyPond.
 
        Layout output to `G:.ps'...
        Converting to `G:.pdf'...
        `gs -q   -dCompatibilityLevel#1.4  -sPAPERSIZE#"a4" -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -
r1200  -sDEVICE#pdfwrite        

-sOutputFile#"G:.pdf" -c .setpdfwrite -f "G:.ps"' failed (1)

4. This is the path of one of the fonts as produced in the .ps file by LilyPond,
        
        G:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/bin/../share/lilypond/current/fonts/otf

 instead of the correct path as installed by the LilyPond installer

        G:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/./share/lilypond/current/fonts/otf

Possibly someone on the team could correct the appropriate installer.

5 I was speaking of version 1.9.8 which unfortunately I removed 2 weeks ago to 
install 2.8.6. It did produce pdf files 

effortlessly.

6. I did alter the lily.scm as you suggested so that the fonts required are 
embedded in the .ps file. This does have the unfortunate 

effect of adding nearly .5 Mb to a file's size but it did mean that I could 
print the .ps files with GSView. It also has the bonus 

effect, I hope, of making the .ps file portable to printed from any computer 
with GSView installed.

 . Well, Mats, thank you for your forebearance with a 'grumpy old man'. I am a 
satisfied customer
