Okay, Phil, sorry if I got snippy.  But there's a 
misunderstanding:

Firefox did not produce the png image, LilyPond did (using
`make doc').  Here's a shot of the same browser page with my
font preferences adjusted to bold serif.  The font in the
png image hasn't changed of course, because firefox can only 
display the image (that LilyPond produced).  So the browser
styles are irrelevant.

But for whatever reason, with 2.17.25, on *my* computer,
LilyPond is not displaying the default serif font for the 
lyrics, while 2.17.24 is working just fine for me.  And 
whatever that reason is, it's not creating the problem for 
you and the other developers.  I know nothing about how 
fonts are handled in LilyPond, but something is amiss.

I configured `make' just before I built the docs, and
`configure' did not say that I was missing any required 
fonts.  My guess is that something was modified in the 
font-handling code (no idea), because I *am* getting the 
right font in 2.17.24, and I'm *not* in 2.17.25.
