[Trying again: for some reason this message was ignored by the list, so I'm

OK, one more issue (possible bug?) has arisen that I cannot diagnose. (Lilypond
2.16.1, Mac OS X 10.8.2)
I have followed instructions on how to change document fonts, as outlined at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/fonts
But I find when I change the fonts that there are some undesirable side effects
in *other* areas: Basically everything but the staff, note stems, and beams
gets bigger, meaning more is crammed in the same space. Chords start to look
like smears, note heads stick slightly past the stems, and time signatures and
clefs stick outside the staff.
Here are side-by-side screen shots comparing the default output with the output
when the font is changed:

And here is what happens to clefs and time signatures:
SEE https://dl.dropbox.com/u/223919/lilypond/badclef.gif
As can be seen, the difference is quite significant and it renders the use of
other fonts effectively impossible. For the record, here is how I changed the
fonts (per the link above):
\paper {
myStaffSize = #20
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Minion Pro"
"Minion Pro"
"Minion Pro"
(/ myStaffSize 20)
))
}
(In this case I used Minion Pro for all sorts because my document only used the
first type, not the sans-serif or typewriter styles, so I just set everything
to one font.)
I have tried a number of different fonts of various types (OpenType PS,
OpenTypeTTF, PS type 1, etc.) and this happens consistently for me regardless
of the font chosen.
Anyone have any idea why changing the font does this and how I might be able to
use a different text font without having this problem?
If this is not a bug (even though it sure looks like one), perhaps the
documentation could be updated with an explanation on how to adjust for these
sorts of problems.
