Did you read
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/
Fonts#Fonts-explained
In particular, it explains how to obtain a list over all fonts on
your system that are available
to LilyPond.

I'm not understanding how font switching in a \markup block
works. I
thought that I could just do \markup \override #'(fontname .
#'Courier) {test} and it would work, but it doesn't. Is there some
other command that I've missed?

You can try this one:
\override #'(font-name . "Courier")
Ah, I see now that courier was a poor choice, because Lilypond has
its own courier. I'm trying to get to a font that's just installed
on the computer, Palatino, to be precise. So far, I've been
unsuccessful in my attempt. I found a thread from kieren a while
ago that mentions, "Pango on OSX can only use Truetype fonts
(including dfonts) that contain only one font variant".
Unfortunately, the answer is apparently in a regression test
document, font-family-override.ly and I don't know where to find
input/regression (which is where I assume from the documentation
this file would live). I'm on MacOSX 10.4.
