Well, I can *not* use it on MacOS 10.3.9:

$ fc-list Sabon
Sabon:style=RomanOsF
Sabon:style=BoldOsF
Sabon:style=ItalicOsF
Sabon:style=BoldItalicOsF

and I tried e.g

\override Score.BarNumber   #'font-name = #"Sabon-RomanOsF"

or

\override Score.BarNumber   #'font-name = #"Sabon RomanOsF"

or

\override Score.BarNumber   #'font-name = #"Sabon Roman Oldstyle Figures"

or (despair!)

\override Score.BarNumber   #'font-name = #"Sabon"

and it I still only get LuxiSans.

Apart from the fact that even if it worked any customized TeX
font metrics (for LyricTexT e.g) were gone.

So, again, for me a switch to lilypond >2.4.5 would mean

a) a loss of quality
b) a setup that's veeeery ;-) far from easier to use
