I adapted fonts.conf to my needs, to include also FontExplorer and TeX  
directories.
I tried only fonts that were reported by "lilypond -dshow-available- 
fonts any" (others can’t work), and it doesn’t seem to depend on the  
format (TrueType, OpenType; I don’t use PostScript any more). – Oh, in  
an other project I'm using a Type1 font, and that does work!

Are both in LilyPond’s (i.e. pango’s) list?

I’m on OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard), so it doesn’t seem to be a 10.7 (Lion)  
problem (alone).
