Strange font selection problem

Hi. I have downloaded the 2.6.4 Lilypond for Windows installer package,
and installed on my fairly normal (I hope) Windows XP rig.

Most output works fine for lilypond, however, when I try entering text,
I get this strange result. Here is an example:

The Text:   This text is in Vera Bold
The Output:    s       s      r

I believe this stems from Lilypond incorrectly selecting the special
fonts for music symbols to be used for actual text. Since most glyphs
are not defined, there are loads of empty spaces, and the ones that are
defined are in really small font.

Unfortunantely, nothing seems to change this font: I have tried manually
overriding the font using the instructions given here:
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Font-selection.html#Font-selection>

This is what I tried:

==.ly fragment==
{
  c'1_\markup {
    \override #'(font-name . "Times New Roman")
      { This text is in Vera Bold }
  }
}
==

I will be attempting a reinstall fairly soon, and perhaps maybe even try
the development version and see if that resolves my problem. However, if
anyone has insight into the cause of this problem, I would be very grateful.

Searching bug archives and google seems to indicated that no one has
experienced this problem before, so I may be stuck...
