I tried your fonts and the demo example, it does not work. I also try 
another font, Times New Roman, the most common font on Windows platform. 
It does not work, too.

\version "2.20.0"

\header {
    title = \markup {
              \override #'(font-name . "Times New Roman")
              "My Title"
            }
}

\score {
  c''
}

"My Title" in the output file is in MicrosoftYaHei.

Do not know why.

Best,
Jinsong
