Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build lilypond-2.2.6-1 on OS X 10.3.5, and I'm getting an error from fontforge when it gets to processing the font cmbxti8. My installations of mftrace, teTeX, etc. are all directly from Fink.

I'm wondering if the lack of autotrace is causing the problem -- not sure which package I should have got this from.
Any ideas?
Cheers, Chris Mear
It's not autotrace; that "autotrace: command not found" line isn't important. This seems to be a bug in fontforge. That font causes fontforge to crash hard. I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you right now; I'll look at the code, but this will probably have to be fixed by the upstream developer. Apparently, other people have had problems:

They suggest updating fontforge, but I tried with the latest version and it still fails. :(
