I have installed quite a few fonts on my Windows 10 System. All of them 
work w/o any noticeable problem. A few weeks ago I upgraded to Windows 
11 and triggered by the above claim retried a couple of lilypond scores 
using various fonts.

All of them work w/o me noticing any problems.

I therefor think your above claim "text fonts on Windows are kaput" is 
at least partly wrong.

Have you installed your fonts system wide? [you need administrative 
rights to do so; upon installing fonts Windows usually asks you where 
you want them installed - system wide/for all users or just the current 
user]
Could you provide a minimal example showing what is not working?

Kind regards,
Michael
