Great!  That fixed font caching problem on Snow Leopard (for me).
Tested from the command line and the GUI.  Thanks for doing that.

LilyPond itself seems to work fine; the only odd thing I'm
experiencing are Pango-WARNING messages:

  (process:1380): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD
  (process:1380): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD

but the output seems to be unaffected.  Things like this have been
reported before, like

  http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=752
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577952

Apparently, that Pango bug was fixed in 1.24.1, so maybe it's a
regression?  I'll test on Leopard in a second.


Thanks,
Patrick
