Oh, thank you! Did you also build the LilyPond PDF manuals in that
Google Drive share? I notice they are 2.19.82 without the defects in
the notation images currently found on the website copies. I'm glad to
see all the GUB work happening, hopefully there can soon be a clean
build of LilyPond that gets proper PDFs put up again.
I didn't rebuild the LilyPond docs, but I patched the broken ones from
the web site by running them through ghostscript with the option to
force embedding of fonts using the LilyPond distribution as source.
Unfortunately, I inadvertently broke the hyperlinks in the process, so
while the snippets render properly, you cannot click on links within the
documents. Since I tend to manually search through PDFs, this hasn't
been a big enough issue for me to address. But I suppose it is worth
pointing out the defect.
Regarding GUB, it is my understanding that the issue that caused the
fonts to not embed is not expected to reoccur. So once the team is
ready to build and publish 2.20 (or if 2.19.83 happens first), the new
PDFs should work properly again.
