LilyPond uses pango and the fontconfig library. That means, it finds fonts that are known to fontconfig. Check your home folder - there might be a (hidden) file .fonts.conf; it should look like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations --> <fontconfig> <cache>~/.fonts.cache-1</cache> <dir>/System/Library/Fonts</dir> <dir>/Library/Fonts</dir> <dir>~/Library/Fonts</dir> <dir>~/FontExplorer\ X/Font\ Library</dir> <dir>/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Fonts</dir> </fontconfig> Just add all folders that contain fonts. The topmost of a tree is enough (like FontExplorer in my config).
