Re: lilypond-book 2.6.1 and --psfonts

[Mats Bengtsson]

I finally found the silly bug causing the problem. The fix will
appear in next versions of 2.6.x and 2.7.x.
It's also easy to fix it yourself in your existing installation.
Just open /usr/bin/lilypond-book (or wherever the program is installed,
check with 'which lilypond-book') in a text editor (as root if
necessary to get write permissions) and edit line 98 to read

        ('', '', 'psfonts',
