The one I made works with LilyPond 2.19.10 - just tested. It may be different
from the one you have.

At least in the past, I think that if one has not recompiled LilyPond for the
font, key signatures won’t work. They do work with the built-in microtonal
accidentals, though.

This was one I had in mind.
For those that do not know about these: it is basically a way to make sure that
Just Intonation can be typeset; there is not enough of microtonal accidentals
in the built-in set.
