Lilypond: can't find font feta11.pfb

[jovo@…]

Upgrade Lilypond results in:

:info:build Cannot open /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macp      orts.org_release_ports_textproc_lilypond/lilypond/work/lilypond-2.12.3/mf/out/feta11.pfb$
:info:build The requested file, feta11.pfb, does not exist$
:info:build MergeFonts: Can't find font: feta11.pfb

Looks similar to ticket r21607 but the therein suggested fix (uninstall, clean and install) does not solve this error. Intel iMac with OS X 10.5.8 Not sure about the maintainer so I cc'ed the author of changeset 82296.

Same on Intel Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8

Same on iMac with 10.6.8. The trouble seems to start here:

:info:build Invoking "mpost -mem=mf2pt1 -progname=mpost '\mode:=localfont; mag:=100; bpppix 0.02; input feta16.mf'"... :info:build :info:build Sorry, I can't find the 'mf2pt1' preload file; will try 'plain'.This is MetaPost, version 1.504 (kpathsea version 6.0.1)

I'll attach my build file.

Lilypond build error when upgrading - osx 10.6.8

Found a similar post in ​Old Nabble. So I modified the mf2pt1.pl script, after an unsuccessful installation, in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_jovo_MyPorts_txtproc_lilypond/lilypond/work/lilypond-2.12.3/scripts/build. Now installation gets past the feta11 not found error but quits with

Sorry, forget the "Cannot stat" error, which was due to the patchfiles missing in my temporary local repository. The mf2pt path fix in mf2pt.pl script makesLilypond install succssful. So works for me as workaround until the port is fixed.

The port builds for me when I use the ../../mf2pt1.pl path fix. r83455.
