I've attached an image showing the "fl" looking a bit squished to my eyes. :)

"fl" (fl) is a ligature in many fonts.  Therefore, what you are seeing as tighter kerning is most likely a single glyph representing both characters.

You could try something like \concat { "f" \hspace #0 "l" } which should typeset an "f" and an "l" without the ligature, using the normal kerning for the individual letters.  The \hspace is needed otherwise LilyPond would combine the strings causing the ligature to still occur.

Aaron,

I didn't know that about ligatures, thanks! Now it makes more sense.

Do you know if it's possible to make a 'global' CueVoice font change via \context, or do I need to continue doing it manually / setup a variable, but still outside a \context?

i.e. \markup { \override #'(font-name . "Minion Pro")
