RE: pngtopnm missing?

That’s what I tried first. It works, but the .PNG files don’t look anywhere near as good as the PDFs. I was trying to get a good-looking .PNG file with the –danti-alias-factor=2 parameter.

I don't know why this happens, but you can cure it simply by replacing all the other options you're using with -fpng:

 

lilypond -fpng test.ly

Subject: pngtopnm missing?

 

I am trying to create a .png file from a LilyPond score. I am running Windows XP. I’m getting an error about pngtopnm.

 

Is it part of LilyPond?  Should I have it as part of the install?

 

Below is my run output.

 

Thank you,

Chris Crossen
