Thanks, that worked. It's still a little funny though:
I added
#(set-global-staff-size 16)
\paper {
myStaffSize = #16
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Times-Roman"
"Helvetica"
"Courier"
(/ myStaffSize 16)))
}
to the file, to get the standard postscript fonts The fonts actually
used were of the NimbusSanL- family (which is what Ghostscript uses
as a Helvetica lookalike).
I had to use `serif' instead of `Times-Roman' to get a times-like
font.
