+lilypond for Debian
+-------------------
+
+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!  :-)
