Where do these fonts live?  User library, main library or somewhere else? As I 
reported to this list about a month ago, Lilypond (2.14.1) is not aware of the 
fonts in the user library (Mac OS X 10.6.8).  It seems to be a simple omission 
from fonts.conf, which has entries for the shared library fonts 
(<dir>/Library/Fonts</dir>) and the system fonts 
(<dir>/System/Library/Fonts</dir>) but not the user fonts 
(<dir>~/Library/Fonts</dir>). 

I also have a slightly different font problem, perhaps closer to yours, which 
is that requesting plain Helvetica gives me bold Helvetica instead (only this 
one font as far as I know; others, e.g. Helvetica Neue, are fine).  I have no 
idea why this happens.

Best wishes,
