Lilypond install fails: Please install international new century schoolbook fonts
by VarstrayPl from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5G73J)
I have slackware version current between 14.2 and 15.0. (e.g. I got current before 15.0 was released, and due to various reasons, am not able to upgrade to 15.0 yet.) I'm trying to install lilypond from sbopkg. I get an error message:
ERROR: Please install required programs: International New Century Schoolbook fonts (these files do not contain Cyrillic characters: c059036l.pfb c059033l.pfb c059016l.pfb c059013l.pfb )
If I open up xfontsel, I can find A font called -urw-century schoolbook l. Checking the -r and -ru options shows that this font at least, DOES display cyrillic characters. However, "century schoolbook l" doesn't match exactly the name "new century schoolbook".
Looking into the documentation, it looks like there is a configure option '--with-ncsb-dir' which is supposed to specify the directory where this new century schoolbook font is supposed to be installed.
I have verified that the *.pfb files mentioned above are in both '/usr/share/fonts/Type1' and '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts', but I don't know if these correspond to urw century schoolbook l or to some other font, potentially a non-international version of new century schoolbook?
I have searched high and low for "international new century schoolbook", but haven't found anything. I did manage to install a .ttf font by the name of new century schoolbook, but to no effect, and that font didn't have cyrillic characters.
I suspect that lilypond is looking for some very specific font files that are meant to be provided by an international version of ghostscript, but also searching for "ghostscript international version" has turned up nothing. And I don't want to install ghostscript from source when I already have it installed as an official package and therefore risk fucking up other things on the system.
Any Help Please!!!!
