Re: Problem running LilyPond on Cygwin

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please rerun setup.exe once more and make sure that the package
called "ec-fonts-mftraced" from the "publishing" category is selected
for installation. This should happen automatically as soon as you
install the lilypond package, but it seems that the installation
program occasionally fails to handle all these dependencies between
packages and then it usually helps to just rerun setup.exe once more.
