LilyPond 2.5.4 released


From: Han-Wen Nienhuys
Subject: LilyPond 2.5.4 released
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2004 15:56:04 +0100

LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major brainsurgery in the
font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads the music fonts in OpenType
font format using FreeType.  This has made a lot of things simpler,
including font handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend. It
should be possible now to run

       lilypond -f svg <lyfile>

and load the resulting lyfile.svg directly into Inkscape.

Kudos to Werner Lemberg for his tips with designing this, and to
George Williams for his relentlesswork on FontForge.

LilyPond 2.5.x now has some more build dependencies, including

 * fontforge 12 dec 2004 or newer

 * freetype 2 

 * mftrace 1.1.0


Unfortunately, there is no i386 RPM binary release for this
version. The new font handling also exposes some bugs in Ghostscript
7.07 (notably: wtk-fugue2.ly will hang during the PDF conversion
stage), which is shipped with many distributions. This means that I
have been unable to build the standard Fedora core RPM. It is possible
to build the documentation. Just make sure that you're running a
recent 8.x release of Ghostscript. 8.50 AFPL is fine, I haven't tested
the 8.15 GPL.

Another caveat is that almost all glyphnames in the font have been
changed. For compatibility reasons, glyphnames should not contain '-'
symbols. Therefore, all dashes have been replaced with dots ('.'). I
would welcome extra rules for convert-ly to handle this conversion.
