Fontconfig error

[Will Oram]

I need to use lilypond-book so I reinstalled the 2.6.3 Terminal  
version on 10.4.2 from fink, in addition to regular use of the .app.  
I seem to be having font problems not present in the executable,  
because when I call lilypond --verbose xxxx.ly, I get

spamguy:~/projects/xxxx spamguy$ lilypond --verbose xxxx.lyGNU  
LilyPond 2.6.4

The output exists, but lyrics text is replaced with garbage, likely  
using the dynamics font. lilypond-book is similar; using the TeX code  
copied directly from the documentation:
