Font Troubles

[Dave Jarvis]

Hello!

I've wrestled all evening with Ghostscript, Lilypond, TeX, LaTeX, and
Denemo.  For the life of me, I cannot get Lilypond to make *beautiful*
sheet music.  Not printed, not converted to PDF, not saved into a
PostScript file, won't look nice in Ghostview, nor even seen from within
The GIMP.

I'm running RedHat 7.2 (fresh install as of a couple nights ago).  Here
are some relevant software versions -- I've used RPM files when
available (Denemo wouldn't RPM -- I had to compile):

        GNU LilyPond 1.4.11
        GNU Denemo version 0.5.9.
        TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159
        kpathsea version 3.3.1
        GhostScript version 6.51
        GIMP version 1.2.3

I downloaded and tried to install some more fonts, but the accompanying
README.txt file explained only where to point certain files from the
following archives:

        fetatype1-1_4_10.tgz
        fetatype1common.tgz

I managed to find feta16.pfa and friends floating around the Internet,
and "installed" them into:

        /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/Font/

But my installation was simply "copy and rename".  However, after doing
so, Ghostscript stopped complaining that it couldn't find "feta16". 
Something tells me this is not a happy thing to do.

Please find attached a ZIP file containing the LY file I'm using, the PS
file I produced, and a screen shot of the not-quite-beautiful resulting
grandstaff.  If it means anything, the midi file Lilypond creates sounds
great!

Thanks for any help you can give me in this matter.

Sincerely,
Dave Jarvis
