Sure enough, they were there.

I tried this, got the same error message
address@hidden lilypond]# rpm --install --force
ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.2-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        mftrace is needed by ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.2-1

Did this.

address@hidden lilypond]# cd /
address@hidden /]# rpm2cpio
~carl/lilypond/ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.2-1.noarch.rpm | cpio -uid
15918 blocks

Looked in the /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/ec-fonts-mftraced
folder, found that the fonts were there.

address@hidden ec-fonts-mftraced]$ ls

Reran lilypond, got the same error.

I hunted around for kpathsea paths in my environment (seems they were
important in Cygwin), but I couldn't find any.

which couldn't find kpathsea.

address@hidden /]# which kpathsea
/usr/bin/which: no kpathsea in
(/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)

Any more thoughts?

Thanks for your patience with me and your help!
