status pango/ps fonts

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

Hi,


I've just dumped 2.5.7 onto the world. With this release, the
following issues are still open w.r.t. the Pango/PS output

* Braces are selected incorrectly

* We should make utf8-string work in the SVG/Gnome backends.

* Maybe we could have a better default PS font?

* The PNG output on lilypond.org has a stray page at the end. Why?

* The font-encoding property should be removed from LilyPond

* We need to have per-system EPS files working for lilypond-book

* It would be nice if the music fonts were also loaded through
  Pango. This makes dealing with the Gnome backend easier.

If these issues are solved, then we can prepare for a lilypond 2.6/3.0
release. Are there any other issues that need to be tackled before we
do a next major release?  I still have system-separators on my todo
list, but is there anything else besides bugs that must be done before
the next major release?


Greetings,

Han-Wen
