Other than the "ppppp" and "fffff", there's nothing wrong with that  
page.

Please report this issues as:

On fink 2.5.23 MacOS 10.3.9, dynamic marks are big ugly fonts.
(we _really_ need to know what OS and package system you're using)

I believe that this is a known issue; there's a lot of font stuff  
happening
on fink/lilypond right now.


Matthias, if this issue hasn't been fixed since 2.5.23, I can add to  
it.  When
I first install 2.5.23, it worked fine.  After that point, I  
(foolishly) played with
some font packages (installing more, rebuilding some old ones, etc).   
After
that, lilypond stopped working.  I tried rebuilding lily, but  
./configure failed
on pango/pango.h (present but unusable).  I then removed every fink
package that dealt with fonts, removed the .debs, and installed  
lilypond-devel
again.  This got lilypond working again, but dynamics and time  
signatures
are in a big ugly font.
