_get_lilypond_font_path in config.py uses 'current'. Any chance to

Well, I can rename it to "current" to make the script work...

I'll have to look into the code once again, but it seems using "current"
is definitely a stupid idea. So you shouldn't actually rename your
installation folders ...
But I think I should restructure the script anyway, since the non-local
option doesn't work anymore anyway (since the fonts aren't at
fonts.openlilylib.org anymore).

OK, I've misread your message and thought I had used "current" in the sense that I use it as the installation directory of my "current" LilyPond build.

The problem is something different. The script checks if the given path points to a file (assuming it's the lilypond executable) or a directory (assuming an installation directory. What I did *not* consider is a "file" being a link or a wrapper script.

I think /usr/bin/lilypond points to either a symlink or the wrapper script.
Could you please give me the output of
cat /usr/bin/lilypond
?

From there the script goes up two levels and then goes down into the installation directory, looking for the font directories. In your case this results in a very confusing result because "share/lilypond/current" is the correct directory within an installation but looks very confusing prepended with /usr (= two levels above /usr/bin/lilypond).

So apart from me fixing this in some way or another you should be good with
$ sudo python install-lily-fonts -l -d /home/fede/.fonts -t /usr/share/lilypond/2.19.62

(i.e pointing to the installation directory)
