Actually, the problem is caused by LilyPond attempting to read from 
arbitrary parts of the file system, which is not allowed.  This is a 
change to LilyPond since 2.6.5.  I just tried to convert a file with 
2.8.3 and found the same problem.  The PostScript file won't open in 
GSview, and it won't print on a PostScript printer.

Is there an easy way to configure lilypond to embed fonts in the PS 
file, instead of just inserting a reference to the location on disk?
