Re: Problems with fonts installation

[Mats Bengtsson]

Try the following:
- Get root access
- run the command 'texhash' to update the filename database for TeX
  related files.

If it doesn't help, make sure that ordinary users have read access to
/usr/share/lilypond/, I seem to recall that this has been a problem in
earlier Mandrake packages. Also, make sure that the command
lilypond -V -h
says
LOCAL_LILYPOND_DATADIR=/usr/share/lilypond/2.3.20"
