What message do you expect? You get something if you add command line
option `-V' to lilypond.

This is irrelevant. Fonts added by the two new functions are not
cached in the cache file.
Let's assume that you have a subdirectory `f', and the font in this
directory is `pala.ttf'. Try this (in file `f.ly'):
#(ly:font-config-add-directory "./f")
#(ly:font-config-display-fonts)
\relative {
c-\markup{ \override #'(font-name . "Palatino") "text" }
}
with
lilypond f.ly 2> f.log
Hmm, this doesn't work; it's not the right font. Looking into the log
file, I see that this font is not called `Palatino' but `Palatino
Linotype'. Fixing this, I get the desired result.
