As far as I can read, Ekmelos is a SMuFL font. LilyPond does
not have native support for those so far (there is work in
progress on this), so it is definitely not going to be as
simple as dropping the font in the system paths and loading
it. Have you seen this?

Try following the instructions there. Also, if you still
encounter issues, please also mention the code that you
are using to change the notation font.
