I'm not a font specialist but AFAICS the font on the left (i.e. 2.13.46)
does not look like "New Century Schoolbook L" (much like a typewriter).

So the 2.14 font on the right is the good, default font of LilyPond.
You must have used another font for 2.13.46 or maybe there was a font
problem in this specific version (maybe only on Mac OS X) that made
LilyPond use another font than "New Century Schoolbook L".
I don't recognize it though (as I said, I'm not a font specialist).

Cheers,
Xavier
