Another possibility is that your font cache is munged, Mark. I've seen 
discussions where a missing font was replaced with a generic sans face. 
Regrettably, I can't point to the location of a font cache on my Linux 
Mint machine; it should be in ~/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2 but that seems 
to have changed. It may well be worth tracking down the cache on your 
machine and deleting it, which will force LilyPond to rebuild it next 
time it runs.

Cheers,
Colin
