You have to build or download the Type1 version of the fonts,
since that's what ly2dvi -p uses avoid the fuzzy looking
bitmapped fonts in the PDF files.
Read
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/lilypond-user/2002-October/003014.html
for instructions on how to build and install the fonts. Han-Wen has at
some occasion sent out instructions on how to download prebuilt fonts
from lilypond.org. Of course, all this should be clarified in the
installation instructions.
