Occasional partial characters in postscript output

[R. D. Davis]

After finally installing quite a few more bits of software from
source, such as new versions of imagemagick, ming, libmwf, libpng,
freetype, pstoedit, autotrace, etc., I was able to get a new version
of lilypond built that didn't give me the autotrace related errors
like I got last time (since I didn't have autotrace installed).  The
only errors that I noticed while running "make all" were about pfaedit
not being found, and telling me that something couldn't be converted
to TTF.mv.  

Note that when I didn't have autotrace installed before, configure
didn't give me any error message about it not being installed;
likewise for pfaedit.  I'll install pfaedit and see what happens.

Postscript and pdf output, as well as midi output, are now created,
with more success than before, when I didn't have autotrace installed.
However, with postscript output, the output still doesn't look quite
right, since a few characters are not displayed completely; some, but
not all, quarter notes, for example, are not complete (the very bottom
is missing, making them look squished), and some other characters are
missing lower portions, such as the script G denoting the trebble
cleff (and the notation denoting the bass cleff as well).

Unlike the PostScript output, PDF output is complete, but doesn't look
as nice as the postscript output since everything looks "thicker."
