This on MacOS 10.3.9. LilyPond is installed via dmg-installer --
Aside: I'd much prefer to compile it myself but the last version
I succeded in is 2.4.5.

When I try the following only default fonts are included (results
in comments):

#v+
\version "2.7.14"

%#(define fonts
%       (make-pango-font-tree
%               "Sabon Roman Oldstyle Figures" "Sabon Roman Oldstyle Figures" 
"Courier" 20))
                %"Sabon-RomanOsF" "Sabon-RomanOsF" "Courier" 20))

%{
result:

$ grep BeginFont test2714.ps
%%BeginFont: CenturySchL-Roma
%%BeginFont: PFAEmmentaler-20

%}

melody = \relative c {
  c d e f g a b c \break
  c d e f g a b c
}

\score {
  <<
  %\override Score.BarNumber   #'font-name = #"Sabon Roman Oldstyle Figures"
  \override Score.BarNumber   #'font-name = #"Sabon-RomanOsF"
%{
result:

$ grep BeginFont test2714.ps
%%BeginFont: CenturySchL-Roma
%%BeginFont: PFAEmmentaler-20
%%BeginFont: LuxiSans

%}

  \context Voice = one {
    \melody
  }
>>
}

\paper { }
#v-

Apart from that I would much prefer to have the TeX-backend
working, so I can use my .tfm-files! -- But that doesn't work
either e.g with the fink version because on MacOS X kpathsea.so
is kpathsea.dylib. See

<http://search.gmane.org/?query=Lilypond+tex+backend&email=
&group=gmane.os.apple.fink.general&sort=revdate&DEFAULTOP=
and&xP=lilypond.backend.&xFILTERS=Gos.apple.fink.general---A>

I even tried to compile a recent lilypond with
all instances of kpathsea.so replace by kpathsea.dylib but failed
of course.
