I finally managed to upgrade to the latest version of Lilypond, from the
2.6.4
that I used to run. I'm very happy with the new features (especially the
musica ficta option), but there is one change which I'm not quite as happy
with: the fonts, more precisely: the way they look in [k|x]pdf.
When I generated scores under 2.6.4, everything looked fine, but now the
music
fonts are not anti-aliased, with the result that every note looks filled -
not ideal, to say the least. If I view the ps-files directly or the pdf
files
in Adobe Acrobat, it's still fine, and printouts from xpdf look the way
they
should.
Is it the fonts that have changed? Or the generation? I searched the
forums,
and some reports similar to mine (but related to the text fonts, which are
fine here) seem to indicate that it has to do with the package
ec-fonts-mftraced. I have v. 1.0.12 installed (distro: ArchLinux).
