If you look in the .ps with a text editor, you'll see that fonts are
loaded by a command that looks like

    %%BeginFont: PFAEmmentaler-20
    (c:/Program 
Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/2.5.25/fonts/type1//PFAemmentaler-20.pfa) (r) 
file .loadfont
    %%EndFont

The font that has the problem, has

   (#f) (r) file .loadfont

Yes, this is one of the rough edges.

And all I want is a couple of font files...  Thanks, I'll have a look.

How odd.  The menu item should be unconditionally written as (nsis command)

        WriteRegExpandStr HKCR "LilyPond\shell\generate\command" "" 
'$INSTDIR\usr\bin\lilypond.exe "%1"'

maybe that does not work [for you], and the context menu you saw was a
leftover from a previous Cygwin install?
