This hasn't changed, since it's up to the tex system to generate
the fonts, Lilypond isn't really involved, except that it provides
the Metafont source files.

Send me the output of 
>> kpsewhich feta20.mf

and a copy of the file at the location returned by 
>> kpsewhich texmf.cnf

and I'll hopefully be able to help you track down the problem.

If you use any of the standard Linux distributions, it should
be possible to download a package with a configured version
of the library.
