Jean, please help me understand what this implies. The above

It is no longer possible to specify fonts like above.

The font specification he says is "no longer possible" is exactly
like my case: \postscript "/Arial-Bold findfont", so he suggests not
using \postscript. And the thread he references ends with Jonas'
reply about how lilypond's ghostscript is different than others:
Not quite, our Ghostscript is stripped down to not include
unnecessary
stuff and that is not prepared for users doing stuff with
\postscript.
Do the above responses mean there's no way to use fonts within
lilypond's \postscript feature anymore?
Could it be sufficient to install the full Ghostscript and set the
environment variable GS_FONTPATH to point to that Ghostscript version's
font directory? (e.g. export GS_FONTPATH=/usr/share/fonts). The LilyPond
Ghostscript will then search that directory.
