Yes, I know. Apple shipped printers with it 20 years ago :-)

It turns out there is, once I knew what to look for (the whole combo of 
fontconfig, pango, and freetype2 is still very new to me).
Things seem to look pretty reasonable now, except that in many input 
files, lilypond spits out lots of:

programming error: Improbable offset for stencil: -inf staff space
Setting to zero.
Continuing; crossing fingers

seemingly with no disastrous effect on the output. Is this a known 
issue, or another Mac bug I need to hunt?
