-lilypond for DEBIAN
+lilypond for Debian
-------------------
-Starting with version 0.1.12, LilyPond comes with some new MF fonts.
-These fonts are not currently listed in /usr/lib/texmf/fontname/special.map
-(from the teTeX package), therefore the fonts will be created in a
-non-standard directory somewhere under /var/spool/texmf. The problem is
-usually only aesthetic. TeTeX can create and find the *.tfm and *.pk files
-without any problems.
-
-However, if you experience any font problems (such as the note heads
-not showing up, characters in the wrong places, error messages from
-TeX), especially after upgrading to a new version of LilyPond, you may
-need to delete the relevant *.tfm and *.pk files under the directory
-/var/spool/texmf. You may also file a bug report about this if you
-like.
-
-LilyPond is still in active development, and many things may still change.
-When it is stablized in the future, these new fonts will probably be
-added into the standard special.map file.

+Dear music lover:
+
+ Welcome to the wonderful world of music typesetting! ^_^
+ This is the Debian package of GNU LilyPond.
+ Hope you enjoy producing beautiful music scores with GNU LilyPond
+ and other related packages! ^_^
+
+ Note:
+ If you experience problems about missing EC fonts during the TeX run,
+ please make sure you have the tetex-extra package installed.
+
+Old LilyPond Fonts Issue:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ If you installed the lilypond_0.1.48-1 or previous versions of the
+ Debian GNU LilyPond package, please note the following:
+
+ LilyPond comes with its own MF fonts starting with version 0.1.12.
+
+ The old lilypond fonts were not listed in
+ /usr/lib/texmf/fontname/special.map (from the teTeX 0.4 package),
+ therefore the fonts were created in a non-standard directory
+ somewhere under /var/spool/texmf. The problem was usually only
+ aesthetic. TeTeX could create and find the *.tfm and *.pk files
+ without any problems.
+
+ However, if you experience any font problems (such as the note
+ heads not showing up, characters in the wrong places, error
+ messages from TeX), especially after upgrading to a new version of
+ LilyPond, you may need to delete the relevant *.tfm and *.pk files
+ under the directory /var/spool/texmf. You may also file a bug
+ report about this if you like.
+
+ Nonetheless, GNU LilyPond now comes with the standard "feta" fonts,
+ and they are already listed in the latest teTeX 0.9 / Web2C 7.2
+ /usr/share/texmf/fontname/special.map file, so there shouldn't be any
+ more problems! Enjoy! :-)
