Testing this on my system is interesting.  On my Mac running 10.13.2, Lilypond 
2.18.2-1 and Frescobaldi 2.20.0 I do not see this issue.  Changing the font 
name with an override compiles the .ly file gracefully and with the correct 
font.  There is no fondu complaint at all.

This may not be comparing apples to apples.  Is there something different in 
LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/fondu in 2.18.2-1 compared to 12.19.80?  Or 
perhaps Frescobaldi’s involvement changes things?  

Note that I downloaded the precompiled Lilypond and Frescobaldi binaries rather 
than rolling my own, although I am not 100% sure about the Lilypond install at 
this late date and possibly compiled that myself.  My current Lilypond install 
is dated 2014-3-17; Frescobaldi is dated 2017-2-19.
