Hi Matthew,
> The example below does not work
To my knowledge, Lilypond has difficulty — i.e., fails completely — with older
Mac OS True Type (.ttf) fonts, and Baghdad is one of those [at least on my
machine]. Try another “crazy font”, one which is an OpenType or (preferably)
PostScript font.

The name in the “Full Name” field of FontBook is, I believe, the one you should
use.

I don’t believe so.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
