Re: Chordmode breaks in 2.10 and 2.11

[Mats Bengtsson]

I looked at the .ps file that Brett sent me, and couldn't notice 
anything strange
there. The problems seems somehow to be related to the Verdana TrueType
font that's used for the chord names, but I don't understand why your 
Ghostscript
(which should be the one included in the LilyPond distribution) fails to 
handle it.
Over here, there are no problems to convert your PS file to PDF.
