One needs both the full Ghostscript and the Helvetica font. In my installation 
on MacOS, I have Ghostscript from both MacPorts and MacTex (TeXLive 2022), and 
it is not clear which one that MacPorts lilypond-devel is choosing. Properly it 
should be the one from MacPorts, but the one from MacTex is first in my PATH, 
as I set /use/local/bin/ before /opt/local/bin/. There was an issue with the 
installer into /opt/lilypond/ that I made from MacPorts, in that some 
components where selected from the PATH, instead from within the installation 
tree.
