Thanks for the response. I haven't been home to use my OSX machine, but I will try when I do. In the meantime I figured out what the problem seems to be on Ubuntu. At some point in the past user-installed fonts were put in a folder called ~/.fonts, but in more recent versions of Ubuntu they are put in ~/.local/share/fonts. Fontconfig doesn't list this locations in fonts.conf (and I don't know how to make it look there), so I just manually created the old ~/.fonts folder and copied the user-installed fonts into it and they are now available in LilyPond.
