Thanks, I've now got lilypond working again.

So the next problem is to make this the default.

I can embed this in my file with
  #(ly:set-option 'gs-font-load #f)

Can I embed it on one of the system files?
I tried putting this at the end of init.ly but this didn't work.

As time goes by, it will become more important to make -dno-gs-font-
load the default.  I think the plan is for ghostscript to be run with 
-dSAFER as the default, and to only allow files to be read from the 
current directory.  If this change happens, then lilypond's use of GS 
to create PDF will not work.
