I seem to be digging myself into a deeper and deeper hole!

In my web-wanderings I came across ‘lyp’ which I hadn’t used before, and which 
seemed to offer an easy way of installing lilyjazz fonts.

That appeared to work OK, but it then seemed sensible (to me!) to install the 
multiple versions of lilypond offered by lyp, which I did - only to discover 
that all versions were compiled for a 32-bit system.

I’ve still got a working version of lilypond in /opt/local/bin but when I 
invoke it on a lilypond file which requires jazz fonts, I get...

michaelhendry@iMac Auld Lang Syne % /opt/local/bin/lilypond 
--include=../include *.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.22.1
Fontconfig error: "/Users/michaelhendry/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf", line 2: 
XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Fontconfig error: "/Users/michaelhendry/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf", line 2:

michaelhendry@iMac Auld Lang Syne % 

…which implies that the lyp-installed jazz fonts haven’t been configured 
correctly.

I think I should take advantage of the (unexpected) sunshine to refresh what 
remains of my brain.
