Re: Missing Font

[Mats Bengtsson]

These links in ~/.fonts/ have definitely not been added automatically
when you installed any package. On the other hand, there have been
some emails describing how you can manually add links to font files
in that directory in order to handle some problems in the recent
LilyPond 2.5.xx versions, see for example
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2005-05/msg00069.html
My guess is still that you have applied this workaround earlier and
forgot to update it. First try to simply remove all the links in
the directory.
