Ok, good.

Ok, fine.

Hope that's ok.  We only tested with miktex-2.0...

Ok.

But it wasn't ok, as we see below.  The /cygdrive/c/tex/texmf part,
should be the miktex directory that holds the texmf tree, ie, the
directories `web2c', `fonts' and `metafont'.  Maybe it's
/cygdrive/c/tex, I can't see from here.  Just try

   $ ls /cygdrive/c/tex

or so, or

   $ find /cygdrive/c/tex -name metafont

to find the right directory.  Remove the /usr/share/texmf symlink, and
recreate it again, this time to the right place, so that the ls
.. cmr10.tfm works.

Hmm.  That's the directory shipped with LilyPond's miktex.  Maybe your
miktex-1.2 doesn't have a web2c directory.  And there's also
LilyPond's miktex on your system, after all.

In any case, you need to get this to work:

Must be off now,
Greetings,
Jan.
