This doesn't appear to be a Mac OS 10.3 vs 10.4 issue because both  
exhibit the same behavior. What I see happening with LilyPond 2.7.9  
is, fondu generates following four files from '/Library/Fonts/Times  
New Roman':

TimesNewRoman.ttf
TimesNewRomanBold.ttf
TimesNewRomanBoldItalic.ttf
TimesNewRomanItalic.ttf

Then LilyPond looks at their names and gives the complaint, "warning:  
can't extract file matching TimesNewRomanPSMT from /Library/F\onts/ 
Times New Roman". I don't know what is supposed happen, though, but I  
hope this gives further ideas about how to troubleshoot the issue or  
come up with a workaround.
