New issue 3589 by address@hidden: lilypond binaries cannot find fonts  
stored in ~/.local/share/fonts
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3589

Discussed on -user:

In Gnome 3 the default directory for fonts is ~/.local/share/fonts (e.g.:  
it's where fonts are copied when you open an .otf file using  
gnome-font-viewer).
While debugging the problem discussed in the link above, I've found out  
that:

- the debian package (2.16.2) can find the font in .local/share/fonts
- the binary packages distributed by lilypond.org (tested version 2.16.2  
and 2.17.27) cannot find it. It looks up only ~/.fonts; so a temporary  
solution is adding a symlink:
ln -s ~/.local/share/fonts ~/.fonts

but I think that the problem should be solved
