I am confused here.

Had John not used LilyDev but followed the documented CG instructions 
for whatever Linux distribution - had he had one already installed - 
then he wouldn't have hit this issue I suspect, I say that as someone 
who compiles doc most days on both Ubuntu and Fedora and have tested and 
documented all the instructions for all the distributions listed in the 
CG and on my own 'at home' Fedora install I don't see any 'modern' fonts 
installed if I run the command:

fc-list | grep modern

(or 'grep lm')

I can also see that the XeteX package listed in Debian's repos shows 
lmodern as 'recommended' however on my own system I have texlive-xetex 
installed and yet I still don't see lmodern installed, so it must not be 
a dep on Fedora either.

lmodern is not a req as far as I can tell.

So what is special about LilyDev?
