Re: Glyph "flags-stem" Missing

[Mats Bengtsson]

I would actually recommend embedded postscript. Look at the example
embedded-postscript.ly 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/input/test/out-www/lily-1795817312.ly> in 
the Tips and Tricks document. You can also
find some examples in the mailing list archives.
