lilypond on Windows ME

[Till Rettig]

Hello lilypond list!

I report a problem by a user on the German forum:

He installed LilyPond 2.12 on Windows ME and invoked the program from 
the command line. He got the following errors:

3 times:
Fontconfig warning:
no cachedir found (Dann folgt ein Ordnername und Pfad)
adding cachedir.  fontconfig</cachedir>
error: out of memory

This is really cryptical to me and seems like a real error. I tried 
installing the program more than once. When run from the Desktop by drag 
an drop he gets some complaints about pango in the log file:

# -*-compilation-*-

(process:4294321031): Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found:

PangoFc will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
 'pango.modules'
You should create this file by running:
 pango-querymodules > 'pango.modules'

The discussion is at this address:

Can anybody try an installation on ME and check if this is a problem of 
the Windows version or only in this specific case?

Greetings
