hi stan,

i didn't notice bar line thickness problems or anything else right off 
the bat, just the forte and piano symbols were big typewriter letters.

i did install with fink, and the installation exited a few times with 
errors before i could even get it to begin the lilypond package.

one problem was a header conflict in multiple freetypes, the solution 
to which i found on the fink FAQ.

i also had to remove and reinstall the tetex-base before the 
installation of the lilypond package would complete without an exit 
error.

this made me think that maybe some dependency necessary for the fonts 
got installed wrong or incorrectly, that i could just remove and 
reinstall.

but i understand little of these things!

i'll try 2.5.17 again. thanks for the tip.

(btw: i test the unstables and devels on a separate machine too to see 
if they are functional for the work i've done with lilypond so far, so 
this is not a catastrophe in any way).

best,
sean
