Re: Q: metafont not being called unless i run xdvi

[Mats Bengtsson]

All the tests show normal results. Is your Lilypond still built
with without-kpathsea or did you clean and rebuild the full
installation? Try to add the flag -V to ly2dvi and see if it
provides us any more hints on what goes wrong.

Does ly2dvi -P give a correct PS file (it should give you
a file with bitmapped fonts, in contrast to if you use -p)?
