In fact, I believe I may finally have succeeded in fixing the nagging  
font issues last weekend. However, some of the necessary fixes are  
still being reviewed to make sure they don't break other packages.

Thrill seekers are welcome to try my experimental fink tree;

- Check out the experimental fink tree into some directory, following  
the instructions in
  <http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/cvsaccess/index.php>. The module  
you want is experimental/neeri/finkinfo.
- Add my experimental directory to your fink tree:
  - ln -s YOUR_DIRECTORY/neeri /sw/dists/neeri-experimental
  - Edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and add neeri-experimental to the  
BEGINNING of the Trees: line.
- Type "fink update lilypond-devel"
- Don't forget to eventually remove neeri-experimental from fink.conf  
again.

Please keep me posted on your success /failure of reproducing these  
instructions.
