I used to have the problem of xdvi not being able to find my feta fonts if the pk weren't in the current directory. Also, running ly2dvi would save copies of the feta files in the current directory. Because of this, I would have many copies of the same fonts taking up space and I would have to track them down and erase them in the users directories between upgrades. teTex looks for metafont files in $TEXMF/fonts/source and not $TEXMF/mf. I tried doing some basic changes to my texmf.conf file, but couldn't get it to work with out some major hacking. I like my config files nice and easy to understand. I tried moving $LILLYHOME/* to $LILLYHOME/fonts/, but, of course, lilypond couldn't find its files. I currently have teTeX looking in the standard $TEXMF (/usr/share/texmf) I have each user create $HOME/texmf/fonts where there are symlinks to $LILLYHOME/* with the exception of the mf directory renamed to source in my home texmf directory. With this setup, xdvi is able to find and compile the feta fonts unlike before, and ly2dvi doesn't create multiple copies of the fonts. Is there an easier way of doing this(?), or will I need to make larger changes to texmf.conf. My suggestion is to put the tex fonts in a directory structure simmilar to the tex distribution (unless teTeX doesn't have a standard font directory structure.
