Hey Curt,
I was wracking my head over the same thing not too long ago on OS X.
LilyPond uses a library called fontconfig to do all font lookups. What happens
inside fontconfig is rather opaque to LilyPond - it just looks for a font and,
if not found, replaces it with the generic sans serif of which you speak. The
best way to know how fontconfig searches for fonts is through their
documentation :
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig
You can also email Werner LEMBERG <w...@gnu.org>, a member of both the LilyPond
and fontconfig communities, who may have some insight on how to solve your
problem.
Cheers,
MS
