Re: SOLVED: Re: Error in printing ff

[Friedrich Kink]

Hi James,

thank you for being that tenacious. I really think it is related to the
combination with MikTeX, because lilypond works perfect (I checked the
temp files lilypond-book.py was createing). BTW this is my command chain
I use to create a song sheet (started from within UEStudio):

lilypond-book.py --pdf --format=latex --output "c:\temp\%n" %n%e &&
texify.exe --clean --quiet --pdf --run-viewer "c:\temp\%n\%n%e" && rmdir
/s /q "c:\temp\%n"

But I followed your advise and deleted the fontcache for lilypond and
also for latex. Still no improvement. I'll update once the issue disappears.

kind regards,
   Fritz

PS: I noticed that inline picture were remove, so for completeness I
attached them again.
