I have not been able to find anyway other than manually copying the
OTF files from their git repo.
There was a discussion started here

Oh but I see you already replied to this in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2017-10/msg00022.html
So if this is just for LilyDev then I'd just install them manually
like you would for other dependencies by copying the files manually.
Hi James
Copying the files manually is not what I want.
I already have a script solution, thanks to Karlin:
https://github.com/fedelibre/LilyDev/pull/8
I was hoping that installing this new urw package would have saved me
from using this script.
So my implicit question was: why OpenType font files are not packaged
in fedora urw-core35-fonts package?
I've just checked and debian (testing) package seems to contain also
the .otf files:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-fonts/fonts-urw-base35.git/tree/fonts
So I guess I should ask the Fedora packagers.
Wait, I found the answer here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/urw-base35-fonts/blob/master/f/urw-base35-fonts.spec#_88

==========================================================================
#
# NOTE: Fedora Packaging Guidelines (FPG) requires to use OTF or TTF
format:
#
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Choosing_the_right_font_format_to_package
#
# However, according to upstream, the OTF/TTF fonts cause
problems
# with 'pdfwrite' if we try to use them as base35 fonts.
Otherwise,
# they work fine, but according to upstream they will *never*
be able
# to use OTF/TTF fonts as the base35.
#
# Since AFAIK no other package/utility requires the base35
fonts, and
# Type 1 fonts with the AFM files are necessary for
ghostscript to
# function properly, this fonts package will only use these
files. We
# are not shipping the OTF alongside Type 1/AFM, because that
would
# approximately double the size of the packages, which is not
wanted.
#
# In case the ghostscript (specifically 'pdfwrite' device)
will start
# to work correctly with OTF fonts type, then we will make the
switch.
