If you have the Cygnus WINDOWS32 port of the GNU utils, it will even
work in Windows NT/95, but we don't promise to support it.

-The MusixTeX fonts (I included those found in MusixTeX T.73). Beware,
-the clef symbol seems to have changed its position in some versions,
-(notably Egler's, a.k.a. OpusTeX). The MusixTeX fonts are included in
-MusixTeX (T73 or better), which can be had from any CTAN site, e.g. at

+=head1 MUSIXTEX

+Previous versions (before 0.1.39) used fonts from the TeX macro
+package "MusixTeX". You can still use these, but they are not
+supported. Since LilyPond's Feta font is much prettier, you'd be
+seriously misguided if you used them, but anyway, here are the
+installation instructions for those deprecated fonts.
