Hi, I'm using Lilypond.app 2.16 on Mac 10.7.4.  (The change log says 10.7 is

lilypond -dshow-available-fonts x

shows that I have Gloucester MT Extra Condensed available as a font for me.  
Font Book shows it as being in True Type and Open Type format.

Strange. I have this font installed, too, and it shows nicely a number of glyphs in Font Book (not sure whether they belong to Gloucester, though). I reckoned your problem has something to do with the font file permissions, so I went to copy it to my user folder - and found out that this very font (in /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/) not only lacks an extension, but also any content. It's got 0 bytes. Yep. No clue where the magic lies that FontBook can make something out of it, but obviously it's not the favorite method of pango.

On a probably completely uninteresting side note, the buzzword "condensed" in the font name is recognized and the appropriate version of DejaVuSans is used on my machine.

I try specifying it in my lilypond score file:

                \override TimeSignature #'font-name = "Gloucester MT Extra 
Condensed"
                \override TimeSignature #'font-size = #2

and it just comes at as some sort of plain sans serif looking thing.  I don't 
get any error messages or warnings.

You should get a warning like
warning: time signature symbol `C44' not found; reverting to numbered style (at least if you use 4/4 or 2/2 measures), but then again this can be remedied with
  \override TimeSignature #'style = #'numbered
Otherwise your code is fine, and works with other fonts for me.


Best,
Alexander
