Re: MiKTeX-Users Digest, Vol 83, Issue 4

Dear Musicians (which I assume all you are),

working the entire day on the first part of the problem (TeX errors)
I solved it either using etex or luatex.

It remains the ugly (shrinked) output in the dvi or pdf file
which I assume is a font problem.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes
Dieter

PS:
The problem can more simply reproduced with the problem barsant.pmx
in Don Simons pmx270 package.
