Help with fonts

Hello.

[Sorry for starting a new thread on the same problem, but I fear that
the old one now is deeply buried in the Lily experts' mailbox, since
my own comments/infos on the issue didn't elicit any reply.]

I think that I'm zeroing on the problem.
Here attached a screenshot of two "gv" zoom windows produced from the
same LilyPond file, the difference being the version of "culmus" Hebrew
font package used:  With version 0.93, the Hebrew letters are in the
output while with the more recent 0.101, the letters are not printed!

The "diff" of the 2 runs of "lilypond" shows:

There, it seems that "FreeSansBold.ttf" has been substituted for the actual
"Nachlieli-Bold.pfa".
What I've noticed is that in the non-working version of "culmus", the fonts
have names like "NachlieliCLM-Bold.pfa" instead of "Nachlieli-Bold.pfa".

What does that mean?  I've not much knowledge of how fonts are looked for and
found on the system (Debian) but does that indicate a bug in the more recent
"culmus" package (like failure to update some font listing file)?


Best regards,
Gilles
