Christoph,

I don't own a Mac, nor do I have access to one, so I'm not the most
qualified to answer this question. What you've described is exactly how you
should do it. However, I have noticed that users of Finale have had similar
issues on a Mac, so I think it's not specific to LilyPond. The issues could
be totally unrelated, but you never know.

What they seem to do that alleviates the problem is clearing out the font
cache (sorry, I'm not sure how to do that). Font Book may have some tools
to help you out, too. I'd go to the Finale forum (forum.makemusic.com) and
look through the topics on the Macintosh user subforum. There have been
plenty lately on this topic.

Best,
Abraham
