Hi,

this is issue 3096
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3096
will appear in 2.19

For now you could download my patch from Rietveld and apply it, if you
are self-compiling.
Or try:

\relative c'
{
        \override Score.MetronomeMark #'font-name = "Verdana"
        \tempo
        \markup {
            "Vivacissimo ("
            \override #'(font-name . default)
            \fontsize #-2
            \note #"4" #1
            "= 150)"
        }
        c
}

HTH,
  Harm
