Joram:

I'm trying to just reproduce your symptoms, out of curiousity,
and as a learning exercise.  I can't produce the output image you
posted earlier.  My input and output are attached.

I have downloaded and installed all three fonts you mentioned,
and both fc-list and lilypond see that they are available.  But
my output is very sans-serif compared to yours.
