Re: lilypond stalls on windows every time

[Mats Bengtsson]

I just tried it and it seems that fc-cache.exe doesn't seem to do 
anything when
I call it will full path. The command prompt returns directly and no
file is produced. Since the lilypond binaries are in %PATH%, I also
tried calling fc-cache.exe without the full path. Then it at least did
something, but after a while it complained about not being able to find
Files\LilyPond\usr\share\guile\8.50, so there is some problem with
spaces in the search path.
