Even if you get the fonts working, the Postscript output is not
far from perfect. I don't recommend spending any time on this.

If you start yap from the lilyshell, all variables should be
correctly set and you shouldn't need to set any variables in
autoexec.bat. If you want to be able to start yap from the
start menu or double clicking on the file, on the other hand,
you have to fiddle with the variables yourself.

If you set the paper variable `textheight', the top and bottom
margins will be set to center the music vertically on the paper.
