Xavier,
Thank you for explaining the root cause of this frustrating problem.
Based on your solution, I am now able to use the chord font of my choice by adding \
the following snippet at the top of my source file (in this case Verdana, which ships \
natively with Win7)
\paper {
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Times New Roman"
"Verdana"
"Luxi Mono"
(/ staff-height pt 20)))
}
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Greg

Apparently it's a Windows bug.
