Font handling for time signatures broken in GNU LilyPond 2.12.1 in ubuntu 9.04

[Bernard Hurley]

Binary package hint: lilypond

Ubuntu version: 9.04
package LilyPond 2.12.1-0ubuntu1

Final lilypond output does not use the feta-alphabet font for numbers in time signatures. Instead one of the other fonts on my machine is used. Moreover setting the font with something like:
    \override Score.TimeSignature #'font-name = #"Tarablus"
doesn't work. However the following does work:
    \override Score.TimeSignature #'font-size = #2

I noticed that the file /etc/texmf/dvips/lilypond.map does not exist and there is a broken symlink to it in /usr/share/lilypond/2.12.1/dvips. Could this have anything to do with the problem or is it a separate issue?

The attached png is generated by the following snippet (from the lilypond documentation) on my system. This suggests that the \number font idoes not choose the correct font.

Here is the png that shoud have been generated by snippet above. This is the png that occurs in lilypond documentation.

This appears to be fixed with lilypond 2.12.2 in karmic.

Unfortunately backporting to jaunty requires some changes to the package so this will not happen through ubuntu-backports.

I have recently upgraded to karmic . The bug is not fixed.
