At some point, LilyPond changed the default fonts to the TeX Gyre family 
(Schola, Heros, and Cursor).

You just need to switch the global font back to whatever you liked 
before, for instance:

%%%%
\paper {
  #(define fonts
    (set-global-fonts
     #:roman "New Century Schoolbook"
     #:factor (/ staff-height pt 20)))
}
%%%%
