To clarify, if I run this command from the folder containing the lilypond binary (~/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/), I get the abovementioned error. I get this error regarldess of using latest git, distributed development, or latest stable. If I run this command from my home user directory (~/), I get: GNU LilyPond 2.12.3 warning: no such internal option: show-available-fonts-x With the appropriate version changes depending on which version I call. If I run lilypond -dshow-available-fonts, I get a list of all the fonts lilypond knows about. Additionally, lilypond -dhelp only lists show-available-fonts (#f) and no show-available-fonts-x option. I suspect that there are two problems here. One, asking lilypond for this option for some reason completely bypasses the $PATH environment variable. And two, perhaps the show-available-fonts-x option only exists on linux computers, not macintosh. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
