Hi, guys:

I don't think I have the font problem (I'm on Ubuntu, and I viewed the attached
svg files in Inkscape with no apparent problems); however, I can't even get past
step 1 — saving as "svg". I end up with a "ps" file, not svg. I do the
following:

lilypond -o outfile.svg -fsvg infile.ly

and that prints:

Processing `infile.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...[8]
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 1 page...
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `outfile.svg.ps'...
Success: compilation successfully completed

And the only thing produced is  "outfile.svg.ps", and it IS a post-script file,
not an svg.

What am I doing wrong?
